dunno why Jay Joyce's production on this one is getting slagged...{#Question}
he's done a TON of decent work...

Another PG  song  I heard on RP, and I already have it, dammit I like it.

I was trying to figure whether I like this or not...and I dont. The sound is to forward for my tastes and ultimately becomes fatiguing.
 

I thought the same thing about "Flaming Red" for the longest time, mainly because it's so different than her other albums. However, as I've opened up and given it a chance, I've really started to like it more than I did originally. It's definitely not my favorite album by her, but I now like most of the songs on the disc (including this one).

Impressive cover art. I have loved everything I've heard off of this record. Time to make the purchase.

That "sound" - it's called distortion - introduced intentionally by way of a "fuzz box" . Contrary to the two of you, I think this is her best album. Emmylou Harris also uses a fuzz box on a lot of her work.

I love it, too. I think it's a little apply-orangy to say it's not as good as her others. It's simply her most obviously rock/pop.

An OK tune, but "ho-hum" by Patty's standards.

 
 I think the word you are scratching for is "accessible".  Yeah, it's not going to be the subject of any songwriting thesis but it does give a very good entry point to Patty's catalog for those curious.  Nothing wrong with that.   Even Shakespeare had to pay the bills.

Just like the emoticon emotes and as the expression goes, "It's like beating your head against a brick wall".  Sorry to say, but that's exactly what you're doing when you show your dislike for Patty because she is divine and most of the folks here at RP know it. 

So go ahead, beat your head against that brick wall...won't do you any good though....OR, maybe, it'll knock some sense into you.

Being a PG fan, I agree with you. My point was that if a person rates a song a "1" perhaps he/she could throw in an adjective or two to elucidate.

Maybe it's just me but her voice seems quite high in the mix and she's only hitting a few notes. Drowns the rest of the music out.. hmm..

No "Living with Ghosts"? Are you crazy? This is some of Patty's finest work. Pick this one up, before you do anything else, get this album, it will blow your socks off (especially if you're already a fan!).

Same story here. I've passed Patty to a person who, I thought, knew more music of this genre than I. He hadn't heard of Patty. That's fixed. She's great.

I first heard Patty Griffin hear and have since bought several albums. I think Flaming Red is not Her best album, but is so much better than most of the music in this world it hard to compare to other singers.
