I like George. I can recognize now that he does tend to go on forever (so does Mark, but he's more tangential and comic, obviously), but I feel like I'm actually getting some perspective what the album sounds like. And sure that convoluted rating system was silly, but actually reading the reviews and not just the numbers, you feel pretty informed. I was nitpicking with him way back in my days as a whiny young man, and he always put up with me even when I was being especially obnoxious, so I can't help but like the guy.

I had no clue he had started up again until this post, but I'm glad to see it. Especially if he's going to be reviewing cool stuff like Andrew Bird.
