Alternatively, Juliet, Alice and Ooh My Love are at least upbeat sounding - even bordering on happy in some verses, and good at faking it during the not-so-happy portions of the lyrics.

Don't get me wrong, I love a good mood-ruiner as much at the next guy, but Doing The Best That I Can would never pass muster on a Stevie album today and I'm glad she left additional wrist-slashing snoozers like this off the three albums she's released since TOSOTM.

I love the wrist-slitters and slow weepy numbers the best, always.
