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.
