Seems to be a matter of taste, actually.  For example, I think CotH suffers
from acute metaphoritis (high comparison -- low content), klutzy conception
and melody, and overdisco.  The only things that save the song for me are
the repetition of the title parts and the great call-and-response section,
which is just brilliant.  MoP, on the other hand, strikes me as deftly
handled sentiment, and the only problem with the song is that it can sound
slightly repetitious at times.

TotC, though, is definitely low on my list.  And BSL is pretty high.  So I
guess it's another of those wonderful things that make us human.
