It's an alphabetical list of all their lyrics. That's hilariou. Yes this took several weeks to figure out, and although I was suspicious, I figured it was just too rediculous to list all the words you say on an album in alphabetical order with no other context. Interesting to say the least.

This reminds me of a section of "if on a winter's night a traveler" by italo calvino. There is a character in the book who has a program to take novels and list the words in order of frequency in the novel. She argues that you can "read" the novel by analyzing the words and how many times they're repeated.

It's a fun book to read, I recommend it highly.

What would happen if you ran this book through its own word analyzer?

Yeah, I didn't really like it too much at first, but on my fourth or fifth listen, I really started to enjoy it. I'm going too see them open for Secret Machines on 2/21 in LA, and I've heard they're good live.

Thank you. I posted a bit at CMJ as Mikeyb317, but I've mostly been a lurker for the past 6 months or so.

That's the theory in a Newtonian universe, but it breaks down at a quantum level.

Actually, you'd just get a list of words. "lexical" and "analyzer" would be up there. Top 10.
