Not to brag, but on August 1st, I wrote:

"The overall critical response will definitely be more tempered [than Smile] -- I foresee a Metacritic score in the low 70s. (For reference, Smile received an average of 97% -- the site's all-time high score -- and GIOMH averaged 55.)"

72's bloody great,

or Smile's 97...

I'd say 72 is pretty good, not great.

If it hadn't been for that Guardian review, the score would have been much higher.
