So this was an angsty album. Lots of heartache and heartbreak. Definitely a good choice if you need something to make you feel like you aren't alone. These are the songs that stuck out to me, and what they always remind me of when I listen to them again:

• Screaming infidelities

"I'm cuddling close to blankets and sheets But you're not alone, and you're not discreet Make sure I know who's taking you home."

I listened to this during that time I was trying to get over someone. It sucks so bad to know that you are alone, missing someone, feeling like your life is so totally OVER and you will never find anyone else EVER. And meanwhile they're out flaunting the fact that they're with someone new. And that they don't even notice your absence.
