i think "oh please" just beats out "hey"

I had to go with "In the Meantime", my entry point, which I listened to hundreds of time before the album came out. I also really love "The Right One", "The Greatest", "Red Eye", and "Native Land" (which is probably my next choice).

While I'll be sad if "The Greatest" doesn't get any votes, it has to be "Love Story" for me at this point in my life.

("Love Song," I meant.)
didn't see any mentions of mister chameleon, so that was my vote. prob not my actual favorite, but it was my gateway into their wonderful world, so im comfortable with the choice.

Wish “The Right One” could’ve gotten a vote too. Fantastic opener.

wanna thank ILX for introducing me to this album via the collective freakout on some thread I can't find right now. I don't know shit about R&B but this album is special. there's like this magic to it, idk how else to describe it. What's Going On has it, a lot of Stevie stuff has it, "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" has it, this whole album has it. it's like...slightly unreal. the songs don't even feel like real songs. its more like they're just morphing around. like that ending crystalline part on "Hey". who does stuff like that? a lot of "wait does anyone else hear this" bits but then I remember the 500 post thread elsewhere. even the cover is super cool. very graphic design is my passion vibe to it until you really look and see how pretty it is.
