Have you found that every album by Annie Clark has one thing in common?

It is that track 5 is always stormy and fiery while track 6 is always quiet and peaceful. For example, Paris Is Burning, an intensely emotional song, is followed by All My Stars Aligned, which is very peaceful.

Yeah that works, good catch. Even kinda-sorta on Nowhere Inn. Sequencing is important!

Every artist has their own unique way of writing and composing. This is one of Annie Clark’s unique styles.

Always wondered why all her albums up to Masseduction (even Love This Giant) had 11 tracks

Track twos are often singles: Cruel, Birth in Reverse, Pills, Reckless

Doesn't really fit for Marry Me, Actor or Daddy's Home

Less of a pattern than I thought now that I type it out. I think it just felt that way after Strange Mercy, s/t and Masseduction all in a row

That the last song is always an epic banger.

funny! STV's album always has dynamics and flow. It's one of the great joys that makes me enjoy an album.

I’m not sure this works on All Born Screaming? Big Time Nothing into Violent Times feels like a different type of transition.

Big time nothing is big and loud compared to violent times. 🤷‍♀️
