and now that you've found a review that's favorable, all of a sudden it's credible?

I don't know about that... That review was so gushingly ecstatic that it might as well have been a press release from D's camp (any review that reverentially evokes the word "Yodas" and declares D as "the heir to every iconic soul singer" is clearly some fan-wankery shit).

But I mean, you could turn it around on me and say that I seem willing to believe the negative reviews while I discount the positive ones... I dunno, but the personal fan responses I've seen on Facebook and Twitter give me the impression that it left something to be desired. Even many of the unabashed D fans are not necessarily saying it was "good," they are saying "Hey, he's been away 12 years... He's had problems... even Charlie Wilson had to struggle a bit before he found his groove again. Let that man grow."

I think that's fair.
