Buried somewhere (deep, deep) under filler after filler is an almost-idea, a vague promise that this album could have been tolerable, meaningful, substantial, or heartfelt (Twentysomethings, June Gloom). Unfortunately, that potential never comes to fruition even with those aforementioned tracks, and, in the end, this LP reads as nothing but a facsimile of sincerity, a bold-font lie that never works hard enough for your attention.
The music version of "this could've been an email."
If you're interested in this album but don't know if you want to waste 31 minutes: just listen to the first song. All of the songs are more or less the same. Actually, scratch that -- just listen to the first half of the first song. All songs offer their best way before they hit their midpoint anyway. It's not terrible, just very... okay. Boring.

What. An. Album.
This had been sitting at the top of my to-listen-to list for about half my life - and man, was I missing out.
This album hardly has any lows - and it is exceedingly difficult to claim any of its songs to be a high either, especially when everything has near-perfectly crafted wordsmithery that jerks every tear out of your eyes, and loud, disruptive and punchy music that helps put you inside Courtney Love's aggression and turmoil.
