I forgot about the extra track! I got my hands on a copy and listened to LiB + Oscar's theme and I agree- they compliment each other very well. It's kind of like the second of half of LiB is a storm going on outside and Oscar's Theme is like sitting inside the house and watching the rain trickle down the window.

yeah, it is such a shame. I really think Tori's ego got in the way. OT was actually the last track on the UK edition. NDT was so clearly left on cuz Tori needed at least two songs to say hey, I may be middle aged, but I can still ride my piano bench and sing about my vagina. seriously, DNT and CC are pretty much about the same thing and I don't like EITHER of them. Get rid of both of them and the album becomes so much better. Flavor into MC works SO WELL and MC into FTYP works so much better without CC.

I have some serious opinions about this album, haha. but seriously, the first 4 tracks and then the last 4 tracks, those two sequences are BRILLIANT. That is already 8 tracks right there. If Tori could have edited the middle portion down to another 3 or 4 tracks, say, MC, FTYP, That Guy, and AATS, the album would have been made of win. I do like Police Me and 500 Miles though...but I think both of those would have been better served as b-sides on a WtE single or something...

yeah, I remember listening to the album for the first time, thinking it's all very promising until track 5 arrives (DNT) and kind of ruined the lucky streak. I do like CC, though. It's MC I don't like

I also like Flavor but towards the end I always get completely distracted thinking this song is about cunnilingus (pretty sure it is).

What does it look like
This orbital ball
From the fringes of the milky way
Raining fla... fla... flavour
Icing fla... fla... flavor, flavor, love

Spread that fla... fla... flavor

well, then. I won't tell you about the other song I know contains a graphic yet seemingly innocent reference to oral sex. I read about it in a recent interview with her and she totally managed to ruin what I thought was a bittersweet and innocent song.

and I really loved that song

and I put the Hood right back where You could taste heaven perfectly...


yup, read that interview. that didn't really traumatize me that much. I don't think Tori purposefully writes ambiguously sexual lyrics, I think her fans just read a lot into it and she kind likes the idea of that subconscious sexual metaphor penetrating her work...ahem ;;cough cough;;
