Oh my, this thread has gotten off-topic!
I think I saw pages and pages ago someone ask if anybody agreed that there was nothing one could cut from Mercy...I agree!
I felt it was too long at first, a position I still haven't backed away from altogether yet, but I had my first "mercy shower", you know where you play a song in your head and sing along while showering? I decided there that the overall structure...which I at first felt was maybe not quite right...feels really good. It flows well, is interesting in it's shape, conveys something, and parts can't be just lopped off I think now.
I don't know crap about how to talk about music, but all those 'transition points' from one section to the next are gorgeous, and even the bits I didn't like as much at first (like the litanny-with-long-pauses rap-y "I'm weedkiller honey, and you're sugar; If you're the prosecution, I get away with murder") get better and subject to interesting re-interpretations for me as I sing them in the shower.
So I'm gonna go try to find the actual comments buried in this and other threads, listen some more (maybe especially naked) and see y'all later! cheers!
