I think the strength of "My Girls" , easily my favourite of 09, along with the fact that this album is mostly joyful, almost accessible, has critics fawning. "Summertime Clothes" is a pretty great track, too, though I'll agree with you that there are many skippable tracks on the disc. To be in the top 10, if not number 1, you should at least be enjoyable all the way through. Though compared to Nickelback...

Wow. Best of the decade! Suppose I could magnanimously shrug and say, "To each his own..." but jesus h. Kind of like being told that the best restaurant of the decade is the Mandarin Buffet. I don't think I've been this disappointed in humanity since the re-election of George W. Bush.
