Notes:

I happened to scrobble each song on the standard edition at least once, but the scrobbles suggest I was not doing an album listen.

Second listen. Deluxe.
I'm on the fence on whether I should give "Flowers in Your Hair" a "1" or a "2"
Wow. I never really realized the lyrics to this song before. I like them. ("Dead Sea")
I liked this song a lot for a while, but then I outgrew it. ("Ho Hey")
I love the melody. ("Flapper Girl")
This song repeats the title but it doesn't sound repetitive - at least not enough to be annoying. ("Ain't Nobody's Problem")
I'm listening to various songs over and I move "Flowers in Your Hair" from a "1" to "3" and "Dead Sea" from a "2" to a "3."

Songs in bold are the bonus tracks on the deluxe edition.
3: "Flowers in Your Hair"; "Dead Sea";
2: "Ho Hey"; "Slow It Down"; "Charlie Boy"; "Slow It Down" (live);
1: "Stubborn Love"; "Flapper Girl";
0: "Classy Girls"; "Submarines"; "Big Parade"; "Morning Song"; "Ain't Nobody's Problem"; "This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)"; "Elouise"; "Darlene";

Summary:
First, I continue to mention that I'm trying to reset the song ratings to a lower average. Thus, despite a what would be a relatively low distribution of song ratings - especially compared to those of the recent bout of listing to holiday albums - the album as a whole is enjoyable.

Overall Rating (Standard): 4.8/5
Overall Rating (Deluxe): 4.2/5
Favorite Song: "Dead Sea"
