on the feeling politically conflicted front i am a huge fan of the line "it's a tried-and-true equation / maintains the small-town population / and turns us all into a family"

Hah, I picked up on the Blitzkrieg Bop lift in Little Red Wagon but not the Jane's Addiction one.

i like how the make-up motifs in "two rings shy" feel like they're alluding to "bathroom sink" (which, yes, is just a killer song)

All her albums have sounded like divorce albums.

the last 4 songs on this album are so so so sooo good... alfred is too coldhearted to appreciate "holding on to you" but what a beautiful and romantic song. i like that she can write big broad songs really driven by melody when she wants to, and of course they're still written cleverly or with some sort of intimacy (the "it's cold here in michigan" part of "holding on to you"). "another sunday in the south" is a prime example of this and a 10.0 song.

I love it, way more than Weight, which seemed more stapletonianly obvious in its depth and maturity.

Not with marvelous throwaways like "Pink Sunglasses." Stapleton believes in Artistic Statements.
