CRAZY WAY OF LOVING

My buddy brain coral posited the other day that only every other track on Merriweather Post Pavillion is strong.

I call this kind of album a Saberhagen, in honor of former MLB pitcher Bret Saberhagen. He had a knack at the beginning of his career for doing poorly in even-numbered years while excelling in the odd ones:

1984: 10-11
1985: 20-6
1986: 7-12
1987: 18-10
1988: 14-16
1989: 23-6
1990: 5-9
1991: 13-8

Man, there’s something damn near poetic/heroic about that pattern…
