That's a valid point Scott. I think it is just sound psychology that someone is going to be more receptive if they think you are trying to be fair; and pointing out the positive is a sign that the reviewer has looked at more that just the "problem". But like I said in my post, it may be part of my training that I tend to be blunt and treat lyrics like a seperate entity as if they weren't what they really are- an extention of the person.
