5.0 + As the album name and cover suggest, there's a melancholy that binds these ten songs. I usually skip to the happier moments ("All I Want", "Carey", "California") but every song on here is gorgeous and deeply emotional. I especially love how she sneaks in details that set things slightly off-kilter, as in the line "will you take me as I am?/Strung out on another man..." at the end of the homesick "California."
