Last time I listened to this I found it tbh very annoying. Especially "Declare Independence" is really horrible, I shifted song when I listened to it and I never shift songs when I listen to albums.

From what I've heard, yes! Haven't listened to the latest, the one before this and her '77 album. Wait a minute, I gotta use that album in the year tournament for my 1977 team! Laughing
