I have to agree with Watchman. WFY is probably, if I absolutely had to commit, my favorite GL album. APPT, I got during the last year of a long term relationship. Busy busy busy, and couldn't really get into the album, I was disappointed on first listen,so I shelved it. A year or so later, on my own, needing music that had no bearing or reference to my past, I had APPT and an album by Counting Crows. I listened to APPT endlessly,it was a relief to have something that I hadn't shared with anyone else. That album became my saving grace in a way. Love Drifters, Much to My Surprise, even Ringneck Loon. Took me longer to get into the ones that he didn't write, but APPT definitely made it's mark with me. Took awhile, but now I love it and relate it with a time of growing stronger on my own.
