5/5...? Come on! We surely have to be a little more cautious when we review something as being perfect (which 5/5 surely means?) when it has not even had a chance to settle in its place in music yet.

I think perfect scores should be reserved for albums that have obviously stood some sort of 'Test Of Time', which this album may or may not do.

I know it is merely opinion, but we don't want future generations looking at this thread thinking this is a masterpiece. Seriously.
I think people just get enthusiastic about things when they first come out. After a while things probably settle down. I tend to be more of a cautious personality and I don't like acclaiming something very early, but some are no doubt different.
