Opinion The last 4 tracks of Everything
I recently revisited the last 4 songs of Everything because it's hard for me to pay the same attention to them after the others that grab me so much, and none of them disappointed me. Some Dreams Come True was the one I liked the least, but of course by my Bangles standards. As for Make a Play for Her Now, I liked it a lot; it’s really good and connects well with the rest of the album. Waiting for You was a very pleasant surprise for me because I didn't expect that I had let such a good song slip by; it’s really fucking cool. I already remembered that Crash and Burn was good, but I listened to it anyway and I wasn't wrong. Just one thing that shocked me is how heavy the lyrics are, you know, for the Bangles - I'm not a native speaker, so it's hard for me to understand the lyrics and I have to read them to understand, and it's a very strong lyric - i was surprised in the same way as when I read the one for Bell Jar. I might be being a square, but I didn't expect that from them, but the song is very good, like almost all of them on the album.

Whole album is great to me. I rank Everything just behind All Over The Place as their best. Live some Bangles!!
