and run the risk of adding to my substantial folder of outrageous Lesson statements, but certain moments on this album remind me of the feeling of hearing a classic MJ record for the first time and it's exhilarating because I haven't felt that way in such a long time, having heard all MJ's records so many times over. Like, I still enjoy them... but trying to go back and relive that experience of hearing Thriller or even Bad for the first time... it's like trying to lose your virginity over again.

Stump manages to really come close to making me feel that way all over again, though.
