I'm not a musician, and I'm usually presented with music in album form---neatly assembled for my listening pleasure. So I don't often think much about sequencing or song order or whatever. I rarely question how albums are put together or how they are thought out.
All that being said, one of the best things about Have Heart's The Things We Carry is that they were ballsy enough to put two incredible songs (complete SXE anthems) as the ninth and tenth songs on the album. Getting to the end of that disc and still having "Something More Than Ink" and "The Machinist" rules. It's like the Red Sox batting Manny and Ortiz seventh and eighth.

in alot of ways, the LP transcends boundaries. i think it has alot to do with the manner in which each song deals with the human condition. the angst breathes thru, permeates, and in some odd way leaves us with a sense of hope.
