I love that "Fables" is on this list. It jockeys with "Automatic" for my #2.

Automatic and Fables are both stellar. Really 2-5 could flip-flop and switch on different days. Especially 2 & 3. But Hi-Fi is pretty rooted in that #1 spot.

i love ‘it happened today’. quite possibly my favorite post-berry track at this point. the celebratory chanting in the back half just makes me feel good and happy on the inside whenever i listen to it. not many songs can elicit that type of response from me.
ah, copperplate, a font for the truly modern man.
