I admit, I was introduced to 'The Raven' through 'The Simpsons' parody, years and years ago. But thanks to my university course, as an adult I have read it properly (I still hear James Earl Jones's voice when I do, which is nowhere near a bad thing).
The writing and choice of words are near perfect. "Nevermore" is one of my favourite words. There are beautiful yet creepy beats in each line. Whether you care for the story or not really shouldn't ruin your experience of reading Edgar Allan Poe's Gothic masterpiece about loss and madness. Pure, lovely brilliance.
Final Score: 5/5
