I love 0304, but the pop sellout was obviously a desperate move for Jewel and it's a clear slide into irrelevance after that. Not sure what albums you'd pair it with, but presumably other big pop acts who lost the narrative at some point. Thoughts, @Ace Reject? Link to post Share on other sites

But then I don’t know what would go with those two. Link to post Share on other sites

I especially like the latter, because it's even the same era as the Jewel and Liz Phair albums. Link to post Share on other sites

WAIT. This Is What the Truth Feels Like is a great idea! Gwen's adult pop sellout moment. I will be riding hard for "Red Flag." What if we did 0304 vs. Liz Phair vs. The Best Damn Thing vs. This Is What the Truth Feels Like, @Ace Reject? Link to post Share on other sites

But does anyone want to listen to C'mon, C'mon? The case to be made for This Is What the Truth Feels Like is that it's when Gwen fully sanded off her remaining edges. She can never be the Cool Girl again. Link to post Share on other sites
