There's a definite beautiful, vast expanse to it.
I love the irony between the beautiful balladry of 'Comeback Story' and its lyrics. I thought it was going to bother me that the chorus borrows from a joke, but it doesn't.
Oh, I love the "shoes" line.

You've heard the joke, right? Of course you have but I'll write it again anyway.

Okay help me out. I was playing On The Chin and my girlfriend says to me, "That sounds like Scratch by Kendall Payne." She played it for me and I told her no way. She said I'm crazy, is she right?

To me, it's for people who like all of KOL. If you only like the first couple of albums, you're probably not going to like this. It's a hybrid of EVERYTHING they have done...from the dirty down home boogie of the early days to the big arena rock gloss of their later work. I think it's great...but I like all of their albums.

So much single potential here. BO'B wishes he could get some.
