"I never in a million years thought that I would have a Carly Rae Jepsen record in my Album of the Year watch. The songwriting, production, instrumentation choices, Rufus-collab, all of it is so surprisingly good." Reply
"I personally love every song on this album and I don't understand the hate AT ALL. Yes, it's a more stripped back sound. Yes, it came after what's considered one of Maiden's best albums.

"Almost as good, if not as good, as private eyes. Starts slow, but definitely has the same amount of hits -- "kiss on my list", "you've lost that lovin' feelin'", "you make my dreams" and "everytime you go away" are recognizable. "kiss on my list" and "you make my dreams" were probably the first h..." [+] Reply
