Didn't RS also say that Blackout was the most influential album of the past 5 years?

Interesting, because the one thing most reviewers agreed on is that Born This Way had a minimal but grinding production that let the words take centerstage.
RS wasn't the only reviewer that made comment. For better or worse, I'm glad that regardless of what most people say, Born This Way the song will walk away as one of the best reviewed and commercially successful singles of her early career.
Also, your use of the word saccharine.
