I think the album as a whole is down there with his worst. I don't think I've ever read one positive review of 'I'. Everyone hammered it as far as I can remember.

REO Speedwagon? Well, when I was 12 I really liked "Keep On Lovin' You," but then I put aside childish things and became a Loverboy fan instead. Love the Flaming Lips, or at least the Soft Bulletin.
