I'm listening to this again tonight, and thought I'd better vote... Turns out that I already did, and my vote hasn't changed: a 9 from me. This is pure pop rock pleasure the way it should be heard. My only complaint is that I could use a little more bass. There aren't a lot of gimmicky or discrete items going on in the rears, but the use of the rears for the delays is fantastic. I just love it.
