Love this. As a young teenager when this came out I was much too concerned with whether it was *cool* than in whether it was *good*, so getting to listen back with adult ears and an expert tour guide is a treat. Re: the guitar on the chorus- there's one more element to really nail the sound, which

is a guitar compressor pedal, probably an MXR DynaComp. It's what gives the guitar that really sharp attack but also a really distinctive "squish" just after the attack that you can hear clearly on the isolated guitar tracks on the show. Once you know that sound you can spot it a mile off.

Oh wow what a treat! I’ve gotten so obsessed with this album over the last year, it’s become such a comfort. Once again, you never know when the music will choose when it is time to make you really listen. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
