Even when I liked them a lot more, I still thought this one was unbearable. However, I have since discovered that there are edited versions available.
So which is the best one?

I might not really understand the bows and whys of presidential pardons, but is this not simply interfering in the legal process?

I think I might be obsessed with an album for the first time in over a decade. Nothing else sounds like this.
Sitting on a rainy balcony looking over a foreign city. Desire playing. Something transcendent is happening here.

You know, AI art doesn't really trouble me because if you like it, you like it but mostly it's obvious tripe and is only doing what humans have done for millennia: copy other people.
What bothers me is AI 'customer assistance' because it's always terrible and actually matters.

Possibly one of the greatest two chord songs ever written, with one of the most beautiful lyrics, and the most delicate arrangement, all put together by one of the most deeply unpleasant people music has to offer.

Sometimes you see medieval torture chambers in films or pictures, but what I wonder about is that someone had to actually design them.
'I think we will have the Stocks over there and the Breaking Wheel nearer the door'
And people had to make these things as well. And sell them.

I used to program for #OS/2 to this soundtrack, along with the music of This Heat and Ron Geesin.
Maybe this is why the OS failed in the end.
