Odd choice for your first review, considering you're only giving it three stars. I'm a bit new at this myself and all of my reviews, so far, have been albums that I really enjoy. Not that it matters - cool album to review nonetheless.
I completely disagree with you on "Crackerman" and "Naked Sunday", especially "Naked Sunday". That's probably my favorite track on the album. The live performance of that one, complete with Scott singing through a megaphone, is a highlight of the entire career of STP, for me.
Not sure if you want the constructive criticism, but if you're serious about writing reviews, it's good to know where you could use improvement. If you think I'm a dick for it, I apologize. I'm a reviewing n00b, myself, and appreciate it when others tell me where I could use improving..
I think your review would be better served with some paragraph breaks. Also, song titles get capitalized and should have quotes around them. There are a couple (minor) spelling errors. If you have a friend that's good with English (like an English major), it doesn't hurt to have somebody review your work. Granted, this is just a random music website, not a music publication, so you may not be here for the same reasons I am - in which case, you may not care about things like this and I could be totally wasting my time here giving you pointers. The fact that you're submitting it to a website where others criticize your work though, indicates that you would like feedback on your writing. Lastly, your review is a bit short, when compared to others on this site. People are real serious about writing around here, it seems, so if you wanna keep pace, it's a lot of hard work. Otherwise, I'd say you're off to a good start. Keep it up and good luck.

[side note] I was not the one who voted this review as not well written. I'll offer advice, but I wont give anyone a negative vote - at least on their first review.
