Further
Just to elaborate a little re SYW vs B/M, I think SYW feels more obviously connected despite it being a frankenstein of a solo album and Stevie's songs thrown into the mix. There's a through line on production, for better or worse, that feels more solid than on B/M. SYW has songs that feel like genuine collaborations as opposed to Christine popping in from time to time on Lindsey tracks. B/M feels more like two distinct halves to my ears than SYW. But maybe that's just me. I'm also the person that thinks Carnival Begin is the obvious clunker on B/M...so who knows?
I am firmly of the belief that Destiny Rules/EFO/RTTG for Stevie and BTLH/SYHA/Miranda are the essentials.
