I agree. A truly foolish move, considering what's come before.

if the Louder Than War reviewer thought UV could be described wholly or partially by the words 'gothic depression,' then she can't know much about music. Depression maybe, gothic, no.

I agree completely with the idea, but I don't think COCC the album is made up of outtakes--obviously Y is and perhaps NAYWAL is as well--but if so, they're better than all of NFR!, in my opinion, and the production on COCC is, to me, sterling, whereas on NFR!, it was, on several tracks, a mess. NFR! is my least favorite of her albums, despite the presence of MAC and VB.

I do that routinely. I make my own version of LDR's albums, especially UV and LFL.

Great. You're right, I meant 'Coyote' and 'DJRD.' Then, in that capacity, COCC the album is more like 'Hejira' the song.

I agree. On headphones, as others noted just above, it's incredible, all the little additions and subtleties you pick up. I love the early trip hop LDR, but this production is immaculate.

Okay. Even in that capacity, then, COCC the song is like neither 'Hejira' or 'Don Juan's Reckless Daughter,' especially since, in my opinion, 'DJRD' is just a retread of 'Hejira.' They're fraternal twins. I apologize for misquoting you.

It was included in a longer sentence. It seemed sincere, perhaps only misinformed, or maybe TLM meant 11 but wrote 14.

Does anyone know why one member here mentioned a 14-track COCC? I think it was Terrence Loves Me?

It’s among her very very best. It’s now in my Top 3 and likely to stay there, as the other two have been in place since before HM.

How 14 tracks? Anyone?

I don't think it's a bad song, just 'minor,' just something someone of her talent could have knocked off in a few hours. That's why, I think, some are calling LMLYLAW "lazy." But she clearly liked it enough to release it, and perhaps it's one of her favorites, we may never know.

It's when you feel the urge to get up and go, to leave everything and just travel or move on. Historically, especially before the 20th century, this has largely been attributed to happening to men, but of course that's not wholly accurate. Men going to sea and joining various kinds of military units to 'see the world' is an example of this. Or, even earlier, the Crusades. Joni Mitchell's album 'Hejira' is a record of her own travels in the mid-70s, when friends told her they were driving across America and asked her if she wanted to go, and she dropped everything and got into the backseat, and off she went, in a spurt of wanderlust. The Beats and most of their works were also inspired by the same desire.

Question: is the Spoiler button how you 'hide contents' here? Thanks. Ah, I see that it is. Thanks.
