True. In Michigan there is a deli that my mom complains about. She says, "the food is good, but they just put too much meat in the sandwiches. It makes them really hard to eat." My uncle and grandmother would look at her and say, "Who complains about their being too much meat in a sandwich!" That's what I think when people say that about SYW.

But it was a badly sequenced album. The close works for me. In fact, those 2 songs following each other makes me like both of them better than I would have separately. But that's a horrendous way to open the album. I'm not criticizing the songs themselves (although I don't like WTWCT) but the trio combo was fatal. That's not the way to lure any listener in.

Then, you have Running Through the Garden and Silver Girl back to back as well. I don't think Stevie is an album sequencer and she may never have sequenced any album at all, so, I'm not saying the tracklisting needed her touch, but whoever slapped it together (Lindsey?) needed somebody's help quite badly.
