I think Adam has invented an new kind of roller coaster -- this album. But the bonus tracks should just be mandatory!!

70 pages?!?!?!?!?! Y'all have a lot of feelings, eh? But omgomgomgomgomg me toooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! I'm working and only have a second during my lunch break to stop by but the songs are running ( runnin runnin runnin) through my head and so I end up looking like a total lunatic but who cares when the music is such perfection and we are the luckiest fans in the world????!!!! I see people talking a lot about Underneath and that song kills me for sure, but there is something about Runnin that just grabs me by the heart. I'm a total lover of angst so you can imagine my feelings at the dark, angsty beginning and the driving, tribal, ominous beat. Like something out of a dark Western. And those first lyrics: "Steel to my trembling lips. How did the night ever get like this? One shot and..." ... as you listen you can imagine this song going to the darkest place possible. A man at the end and at the edge. With purposefully enigmatic lyrics that lead you to think he might be about to destroy himself violently. Or at least, listening further, destroying himself one drop at a time. Instead, we get a cry of desperate desire to emerge into whatever is beyond the darkness. And even though the singer is at the absolute bottom, Adam makes you believe that he can emerge. He's talking himself out of the dark and into the light. The drumbeat of doom turns into a rhythm of defiance and you can literally see Adam running away from the past and into a better future. It totally takes my breath away and blows my mind like no other song on this album. Only Adam can take a ballad of self-destruction and give it an arc that ends it in a place of empowerment. OMG I worship this album!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beautifully said! I am Runnin's bitch! I used to be Shady's bitch, but I am being unfaithful! Obsessed with Runnin! Oh, and I am in love with Robert Marvin now too! |

It feels like Adam used his whole vocal range in Runnin, from the lowest of lows to the highest of highs... I have no idea, of course, but it sounds like that to a layman.
I wonder if he's as delirious as we are right now.

As hard as the waiting has been for the album, I'm kind of glad we got it in bits and pieces. Starting all the way back to last summer with Outlaws of Love, there's been time to savor each bit of lyric or melody that Adam let slip through his fingers (on purpose, no doubt.) I personally believe that my head might have exploded had I heard this whole thing in one sitting. I wouldn't have been able to process everything if I hadn't heard parts of most of the songs. As it is, it feels like it will take months of listening to collect every nuance sung and determine what it means to each person. And we still have two more (maybe three? Japan?) from the UK version!
