That's the thing. I can't tell you more, as there's no more to tell.What I CAN tell you, however, is that there were some surprises here! Some unexpected songs that ended up being real bummers, some popular songs with deeper meanings, and tons of fun to be had talking about absolute downer after downer. It's what we signed up for, nearly two years ago from where we sit now, but... damn.Did we get it right back then? Is it any more right or wrong now than it was in 2023?
