Summary:
This is a solid pop album with tracks that fall right in my comfort zone of enjoyment. Heading into the album, I was only familiar with the ever popular tracks "Call Me Maybe" and "Good Time". As such, I was pleasantly surprised that there were some other strong tracks on the album. In fact, apparently five tracks from the album made it to the Billboard Hot 100.

Overall Rating: 5.0/5
Favorite Song: "Call Me Maybe"
