This album is pretty freaking good. The concept alone transforming from a meet-cute, to full on relationship, to it breaking, to the break up- freaking smart!! You don't see too many albums that have the ability to be that cohesive. The thing is... even though the cohesive story is good I don't think every song is a masterpiece. Let me be frank... I think my way, purple, begged, and what's wrong with me are all only okay at best. It's a hit or miss album for me. I almost worry that she cared so much about the story that she may have picked songs that aren't that good over better ones because it would fit the album idea better. Like I don't know... I cannot be convinced that she thought purple was one of the best thirteen songs she's written since her last album. With the hate out of the way let me just say- stupid song, maggots for brains, u + me = <3, the cure, and cigarette smoke are all exceptional songs that I will always be glad to listen to. And then drop dead, honeybee, less, and expectations are all pretty great songs too! Anyways, I kind of wish she would get more specific in some of her lyrics. Sometimes it feels like she just says random things- I'll cite u + me = <3 verse 2 as my example.. like why are we talking about his sister for a whole verse? I just wish her songs had a more specific point in each of the songs. But overall, great album from Liv (although I do wish it didn't take so long to get new work from her... like we ain't getting anything new from her for a hot, hot minute).
