Summary:
For the most part, I liked the first half of the album better than the second half. In particular, many of the tracks on the second half seemed to have a strange "whiny" sound to them. Note that this is a non-technical description.

Favorite Song (Standard Edition): "Love Story"
Favorite Song (Platinum Edition): "Jump Then Fall"
