Quite possibly my least favorite song she's ever released. Just so grating. It rebounds a bit at the end, but that chorus -- yuck.
Yeah not a fan of this one. Not sure why I listened, I told myself I'd wait until the record drops.

This song is a testament to the Harmony of Difference.

I like this quite a bit, though of the released tracks, my favorite is actually New York; that's a far cry from my first listen to that song, as I wasn't crazy about it initially.

I posted the a live version of it a while back. I didn't listen to that version and I'm not listening to this one either. I'll have the full album in three days. I can wait.

Bummed to hear that it's getting such a tepid response. But chewn likes it, and he has great taste. Also, you ding-dongs haven't liked any of these songs yet and I love the two I've heard. So, I guess there's hope in that.

THREE DAYS!

I actually enjoyed this one a lot. Of the songs I've heard, I'd rank them as:

Los Ageless
Pills
New York

I found "Pills" to be pretty humorous, and a pretty spot on commentary that hits really close to a lot of family and friends I have

With the new tour dates announced today I’ll get to see her in San Francisco in January! I’m beyond excited!

Also, I broke down and listened to Los Ageless and it was amazing!

You can watch it now Joe. Its NY in piano version. Its a beautiful version.

By the way, Pills is awesome man. Different. Thats what i wanted. Hell even the piano version of NY is different...im thinking that jack guy ruined the demo Annie had.
