4.0

It was really clever to write socially aware poetry on the meaning of and reaction to every song on one week's Top 40 list, but sometimes it felt too clever, sort of pretentious. Parts of it felt like the speaker was trying too hard to be funny and it made it harder to read. However, this is fun poetry! It's enjoyable and doesn't require immense brainpower to fully apprehend the sublime awe of each and every word, like much other poetry does.
