Коментари (моя подборка)

    "You made an entire album of A-sides"
    "'Strange Girl' is obviously probably my favorite, but аll of them speak to my soul" (freak-for-life Gracie, момичето, на което е посветена песента - б. м.)
    "It's like you gave us all of yourself on 'Raise Your Horns', which I now affectionately call the Gospel of Lzzy Hale"
    "'My Redemption', 'Terrible Things', and 'I Come First'; what is Lzzy's favorite to sing?"
    "You created a masterpiece, allowing us to feel so empowered yet vulnerable at the same time"
    "The album is one song with short pauses"
    "I've told my coworkers they have to listen to 'Psycho Crazy', while thinking of all the things they've heard come out of my mouth over the years"
    "Rockin' out to 'Bombshell' in the car"
    "You were right, we weren't ready for the perfection; it had me smiling, laughing, crying with chills all the way... 'Psycho Crazy' nails my divorce"
    "'Back from the Dead', 'The Steeple', and 'Wicked Ways' sometimes sound to me as if they were written as one song, and then split into 3, music-wise, not the lyrics"
    "'Psycho Crazy' - that's gonna be my next tat"
    "I've already worked out all the chords for 'Raise Your Horns'"
    "I'm 51, and for 40 years I am trying to explain myself with no luck; you did it in a song: 'I'll always be sinful, it don't make me evil' ('Wicked Ways' - б. м.)"
    "It's amazing, been playing it non-stop; which is kinda hard when I'm at work, but I'm making it work"
    "Motivation to get back in gym"
    "'Strange Girl' is on repeat in my motorcycle helmet"
    "My soul needed this album"
    "Yesterday I smiled at 'Psycho Crazy'; this sounds eerily similar to something I said to an ex, I went back 30 years, and gave that girl a hug, she knew it wasn't her fault"
    "I'm saving my first listen to when I can finally sit down properly, put my headphones in, and listen to the whole thing in one go"
    "I'm obsessed with 'Brightside'"
    "When I was sad, I used to hum randomly in a particular key, and sometimes a melody would stick for a while; 'Raise Your Horns' chorus kind of reminds me of one of them"
    "The past year I lost my father, and my wife left me; 'My Redemption' has been getting the repeat treatment"
    "'Terrible Things' has got me"
    "I am in love with 'Strange Girl'"
    "'Terrible Things' is one of my favs, cuz it describes the exact existential crisis I get often: that the folks who lie, cheat, steal, and manipulate get ahead in life"
    "'Psycho Crazy' is a mood"
    "I keep thinking 'this is my favorite', but then it cycles around I think: 'nope, that one is my favorite', and repeat; so rare to have a new album that you don't need the skip button"
    "Really hard to choose, but I think it's 'My Redemption'"
    "'Back from the Dead', I put it on as I started my third season of motobike riding"
    "I can 100% say for certain my daughter's favorite song is 'Raise Your Horns'"
    "The best album I've owned in near on 40 years"
    "'Raise Your Horns' made me cry like an idiot the whole ride to work at 7.40 in the morning"
    "This is your best album to date; which seems impossible, because all of your previous albums were excellent"
    "My mom and I listened together, and she said 'Raise Your Horns' is her favorite"
    "You put the songs in the best order"
    "'Terrible Things' has resonated with me on so many levels"
