Richard Thompson ending up tied with Britney Spears is one of those once-in-a-lifetime moments of cosmic hilarity. Ironically, Thompson actually recorded a live version of "Oops...I Did It Again", and no, I'm -not- kidding. It's very entertaining.

Re: 2007 Village Voice Pazz & Jop Top 40 Albums

Weird out of all the Miranda Lambert songs they could have chosen, the one that makes it is one of the sort of cheesy "Look, I'm a hick!" songs.

The second half of the album is the better half.
