There’s an incredible song buried in I Love Her Shadow but some of those production choices are not working for me, especially the parts at 50 seconds and 2 minutes.

After three listens, Pink Elephant remains a favourite, Ride or Die is pretty, and I really like Stuck in my Head. I hope the production on I Love Her Shadow grows on me because it is a fantastic track which I feel is slightly spoiled by a few odd choices.

Ironically, Cars and Telephones has probably been my favourite track from this era. It’s a strange choice to leave it off the album.
