Again, you'll like it. Maybe after a few more spins I'll like it more.
There's a bit on the record Corin sings about getting the kids ready for the day. It feels autobiographical to me. If so, one of those kids was the "baby on the couch" on Combat. That blows my fucking mind, that Corin is sort of chronicling her motherhood in rock. That's not what she's all about, but it's in there. Amazing.
Just formally speaking the lyrics are a bit dippy. I like what she says, just not the boring, clumsy way she says it. But she's clear and direct and I hope she inspires a bunch of 12 year old girls.
