Chances are I rated Sky Fits Heaven lower than I should have done either due to me being a mess at the time of scoring or in a tactful effort. I apologize in advance if I scored anything lower than a 9
Host commentary - Aw, the last b-side/regional bonus track left in the rate. It is a really great song. I like it following Mer Girl because I see Mer Girl as the end of the ROL journey and Has to Be as the beginning of a new journey.
Guest commentary HonourableVomit -This is melancholy, it's poetry, it's beauty. William Orbit did some real magic here; the instantly recognisable synth work is a gorgeous undercurrent to the heartbreaking optimism that made Ray Of Light so special. I understand why it was left off the album, it doesn't quite fit into the story being told but I'm grateful we got this song at all, a true discography highlight that often flies under the radar.
Reinvention - Kinda dark and spooky.
Eeveelution - Probably her only good best bonus track.
eli’s_rhythm- fabulous, never heard in full
Subomie - Lovely track and a more hopeful ending to the album, but it's kind of awkward coming after Mer Girl. They both make decent, albeit different, endings to the album, but I don't think they work together.
Okay that is it for today. I'll post the big chart later. Tomorrow:
Guess what? If your 11 is still in, it is leaving tomorrow. Now where it places is the real question.
The top 10 in no particular order is:
Waiting
Thief of Hearts
Love Tried to Welcome Me
Skin
Sky Fits Heaven
Mer Girl
Forbidden Love
Isaac
Devil Pray
Veni Vidi Vidi
