In the context of its time, I'd probably give it a 4.
If a song like this was to appear on an album these days, I'm pretty sure most would rate it with a 7 or 8. That just highlights the change in the last two decades.

Pretty much spot on.
For a long time Say It Isn't So didn't do anything for me and I considered it one of the worst singles. I never understood why Jon suddenly started singing with his head voice. But the whole Crush album wasn't one I listened to regularly.
A couple of years ago it changed and for some time I really enjoyed listening to the album a lot which also changed my opinion about that song. It's still not one of the great ones but I made my peace with it.
So in the beginning I would have given it a 2 or 3. Nowadays I'd rate it with a 5 or 6.
