I think I voted for "Feels So Different". I meant to. What a way to announce your intentions from the outset! I love the way the strings boil over near the end. This is one of those albums that it's a little tough for me to listen to with others around, just so fucking intense.

I completely associate this record with Red, Hot + Blue, from around the same time.

"You Cause As Much Sorrow" is a chilling Sunday night anthem.

Alfred you've now named my three favorite tracks on this record in order itt.
Too bad I missed it the first time but my vote wouldn't have changed a thing.

"Jump" was released a year (or maybe two) earlier as the b-side to one of her 12"s...I can't remember which one, though.

"I Am Stretched on Your Grave". Tempestuous Irish swooning mixed with old-school hip-hop swagger. Nothing else on the album is this visionary for its time.

John, didn’t O’Connor live in Evanston for a while (of all places)? I always wondered if NU students would run into her.
Great, great album, there was a brief period where it seemed like it wasn’t getting much attention even though it was this massive hit when it came out, but I absolutely loved it - it was like the rock album equivalent of Carl Dreyer’s “The Passion of Joan of Arc,” not only because of O’Connor’s look bringing Falconetti’s to mind (after she is shaved on camera) but because of the stripped down, emotionally direct and raw-to-the-bone aesthetic. Powerful.

She lived in Wilmette (of all places) for a time in 2016.
