I finally got time to listen to it.

It's really amazing. Miranda never fails to deliver an amazing album. The whole album has such a classic, old school feeling. The songs are full of nice little moments that are worthy to discover.

Some of the songs on the album are so sad.

My favorites after one listen are Runnin' Just in Case, Vice, Smoking Jacket, Getaway Driver, Highway Vagabond, Six Degrees of Desperation.

After one listen, For the Birds was my least favorite.

Can't wait for Miranda to snatch an AOTY nom next year!

My review.



One of the reigning queens of country music returns with this double album titled The Weight Of These Wings. Packaged with beautiful artwork, and introduced with the amazing lead single Vice, it's safe to say my expectations were very high.

The first half titled The Nerve, is possibly Miranda's strongest work to date. Yes, it features the typical country chic songs she's become well known for, such as Pink Sunglasses which rivals songs like Little Red Wagon and Platinum on her previous record, and whilst they're delightfully filled to the brim with the tongue in cheek personality we've all come to adore, they're the least eventful songs on this first half. Runnin' Just In Case, Highway Vagabond, Getaway Driver, Pushin' Time, and of course Vice all shine like stars among tracks that are so very close to being up there with them.

The second half titled The Heart falls slightly flatter unfortunately, but still isn't without some stars of it's own. Tin Man - an open letter to the fictional character in The Wizard Of Oz - finds Miranda telling him why having a heart isn't so great, Keeper Of The Flame glistens with it's imagery filled lyrics and Six Degrees Of Separation offers up something slightly different from any other song in this 24 track collection. However, the more traditional country sound that The Heart brings to the table just isn't for me as much as the first part, at least not on my first few listens.

As a whole though it's lyrically clever - Use My Heart closes The Nerve by saying that she doesn't 'have the nerve' to use her heart. While Tin Man opens The Heart by singing about how having a heart isn't all it's cracked up to be - and the 24 songs have been placed exactly in the order they ought to be listened to on the tracklisting. It's a story, an event, and a damn good record. Yes, maybe she should have condensed the better tracks into one incredibly solid album but it wouldn't have felt quite as special. This may very well be the album that defines her career, and if it was, it would be a great thing for her.

^ I agree that The Nerve is better than The Heart, I might even say way better. All the songs on The Nerve are amazing, it's hard to find a filler there imo. On the other hand, on The Heart, there are songs like Tomboy and For The Birds which are imo the two fillers of the whole album. The strongest songs on The Heart are Six Degrees of Desperation, Things That Break, I've Got Wheels and Keeper of the Flame.

Just get my copy... I haven't listened to any songs.. I'll tell my opinion about it after I listened.

But damn, 24 songs

I love Platinum and I wish I get to hear some of Platinum type of songs
