- “Broken English” The opening notes of Faithfull’s unexpected comeback masterpiece are almost too perfect: chirping “who me?” synths that are quickly bulldozed by a chugging, relentless bass line that sets up Faithfull’s exhausted, pissed protest against not just the Cold War, but the entire human tendency to fight, scheme, conquer and one-up.
- “Ballad of Lucy Jordan” On Faithfull’s stunning interpretation of this 1974 Shel Silverstein (yeah, The Giving Tree guy) composition, her voice takes on an empathetic desperation as tentative, transient synths emphasize the nervous breakdown of the titular disillusioned housewife.
