Upped from "liked" on fourth and fifth listen. I actually consider this a 7.5 (high B+), but I've upped it a notch because he had the wisdom to make it 10 songs in 35 minutes. It's the opposite, obviously, of docking albums for bloat, which I do all the time. In fairness, I should do the opposite sometimes too, like here, where deserved. I bet people pressured him to to pad it out closer to an hour just because he could. Obviously an artist who knew how to not overstay his welcome, on record, or in his artistic life. I respect that tremendously and thank him for it. Plus, he more or less invented rock and roll.
