The 4:30 MarkFor a while now I've known this song would be #100. I knew it would be at the very end of the list because it honestly isn't very good. The beat is boring and the verse redundant. It kinda reminds me of his horrible song, 'Rock Your Body,' that Bally's Total Fitness would use for their ads.
When I first picked up FS/LS I would skip past Love Stoned. It really didn't do anything for me. One day, distracted and too preoccupied to skip forward, I allowed the song to play through. I allowed it to make it to the 4:30 mark. The 4:30 mark caused one of those moments where I stopped what I was doing and wondered 'where the fuck did this come from?' The 4:30 mark is when something else starts to tease, change entirely, and then emerges as echoing guitars and synths that accompany, and somehow strengthen, the same lines JT's been reiterating the entire time. At this point I can forgive the mediocrity of the past 4 minutes and accept that it was worth waiting for... unless I've already skipped forward... to the 4:30 mark.
