hey so this is basically "it". the album. the one that started my entire obsession with music and albums and things musicians had to say behind the words and all that crap. i think it was 8th grade, and i was writing a paper for for who-know which class. our family had just bought the first BRANDNEW computer, and i decided to take advantage & listen to a cd my mother had bought me for my birthday a few months before. it was really the first time id ever listened to an album all the way through, never quite got the fact that artists are more than the track on the radio. they could be so much more. i was hooked, everything on this album seemed to accessible and novel to me. it's still one of my fav albums, just not talked about all that often. this is my alpha.
