Clearly that is a hefty majority of the album haha.. and I like the other tracks I didn't mention, too. There's not a bad song on there IMO. Overall I find it really solid and cohesive, while at the same time having a lot of variation. I'm a big fan of a lot of the 80s-ish production elements. And of Danielle's vocal/lyrical style.

I can sorta hear what you're talking about - there's some sort of a pitch modulation (or it might be the use of a vocoder, idk) done that is making it sound like a guy, haha. It doesn't sound like Lindsey in particular to me though. Although quite a few times I could swear Christine laid some vocals down on their tracks.

Did you know them before the album came out? I really hate "The wire" on the album, it was such a cool Fleetwood Mac-y song before, a real rocker. Now it's just pure pop and i hate the strings at the end of the song.
I am very glad you like "My song 5", because you say you like 80s music but "My song 5" is a completely different experience musically. I wonder why it's called "My song 5". Some people say it's because there are 5 songs in 1. I think they were just too lazy to give it a proper name.
You like them lyrically? I thought it was their main weakness but their songwriting is very effective, and some songs like "Go slow", "Days are gone", "Running if you call my name" and "Don't save me" are beautifully written.
Oh, yeah you're right. I'm crazy.

I think my dreams will come true when Stevie will start listening to Haim instead of Katy Perry.
