I come back to this album very often. I always say the best music comes from a true “raw emotion” mindset (it’s what makes many of Fleetwood Mac’s songs so iconic) and that idea is put on full display here. Coming out when I was just entering high school, this album has followed me through many phases of my life - and has been so relatable in many different ways.”
