"And if the love of a woman or two, dear, couldn't move you to such heights, then all I can do is do, my darling, right by you."

I came scarily close to never giving this album a chance. When I first started listening to it, within the first few seconds I stopped it and went to listen to something else because I hated her voice and didn't think I'd be able to put up with it for a whole hour. Then I changed my mind again and decided to just listen to the whole thing, whether I like it or not. Now it's in my top 10, and she's one of my favourite singers. I'd say I made the right choice. Only Skin is particularly incredible: I legitimately sometimes find myself amazed that that track even exists.

Favourite Tracks: Only Skin, Sawdust And Diamonds, Emily

"Angels on the sideline, puzzled and amused. Why did father give these humans free will? Now they're all confused."

The fact that there is a hidden track that can be found by playing multiple tracks over top of each other blows my mind. How does somebody do that? (And, even more mind blowing, how did somebody figure it out?)

Favourite Tracks: 10,000 Days (Wings Part 2), Right In Two, Wings For Marie (Part 1), Rosetta Stoned
