To my knowledge, every Magnetic Fields album before this had some concept around it. Whether it was about life, death, or anything in between, there was a concept behind it. Well, this one had a concept too. I put in the track numbers there on purpose so I could show people the fact that this album really does have 69 songs, and every single one of them contemplates love in some way, shape or form.

This is a special record that very few could ever hope to pull off. How can you write 69 songs and put them all together and not have any filler? Well, I'm here to tell you that the Magnetic Fields achieved just that. I'm not sure how, but frankly, the only conclusion that can possibly be drawn is that these guys are just pure geniuses. There are more good songs on this record alone than most bands can even conjure up in their entire career. How is this possible? Especially when every single song has basically the same concept behind it. I thoroughly believe that this album should be listened to the entire way through (that at almost 3 hours, that's not an easy task...), and you will be taken through every form of love imaginable. The Magnetic Fields have basically everything covered here. There's happy love, there's sad love, there's even goofy love, and it's all in top form on this record. If you don't know what love is, try out The Magnetic Fields, because they have a fairly firm grasp of it as shown on this album.
