It is interesting
It’s also pretty crazy….seems like he is ranking them based on a combination of what albums he thinks are good AND how happy he was during the recording and his memories but sometimes the best art comes from the worst circumstances.
But that’s fair as I don’t want him to just reflect the general consensus…
My two favorites are probably Fight Songs and Most Messed Up. It still bums me out that he was such a mess during Most Messed Up and that he went clean after it because I like the album so much and it almost seems like he is disowning it! Like he says in the article about their fans in general, most messed up was the first time I really paid attention to Old 97s after a long while….
