This is a truly magnificent record. I'm a bit partial to "I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One," which was the first YLT album that I listened to properly, but this comes very very close in my book. The opening moments of "Everyday" are just incomparable. I once spent one of the worst nights of my life in the Emergency Room at Hyannis Hospital.

"The Crying of Lot G" captures the nuances of arguing with a loved one in a way I've never heard in any other song. So personal, so <i>not</i> dramatic, that it's possibly the most realistic portrayal of love in pop. Pair that with "Tears are in Your Eyes" and you've got an album that is dripping with real love - the long-term kind.
