Any time an interviewer gets all BFF-y in an article, I'm immediately turned off. Having said that, the Pitchfork article revealed so much, not just on Angelakos but also on myself reflecting back on what I was reading. I've never done anything as bold as what I read, but I've certainly been down those same dark paths, if perhaps not quite as dark. It truly influenced my perception of the album tremendously, not least of all because I read it as I listened to it the first time. I don't think it's essential reading - if you already enjoy the album, you don't need it. But for most anyone else, it's an uncommon public reveal on bipolar disorder and other forms of depression that will no doubt hit hard on just about anyone who reads it. Texting bit or not, it's the first piece of music journalism to majorly affect me in a long time.
