Time*Sex*Love*

This is my all time favorite MCC album. It really gets in your head and asks the tough questions. Musically and lyrically spectacular.

Every song is amazing and stands on its own. Some songs are very polished and produced (see "Maybe World" and "Slave to the Beauty") while others are very stripped down ("King of Love"). This is my favorite MCC album. It has gotten me through some very hard times. Mary mostly talks about growing older and the wisdom and hindsight that brings.

I consider this to be Mary Chapin Carpenter's greatest album, and like most of her other albums I bought this one on cd the day it was released. I have enjoyed this album from the first listen. This album never had the commercial success that Come On Come On attained, but it has touched me deeply. There have been songs on other Mary Chapin Carpenter albums that have really spoken to me namely: This Shirt from State of the Heart, I Am a Town from Come On Come On, and Stones in the Road, but none of her other albums as great as they each are have had the impact on me that this one has had. It is also important to note that the iTunes version of this album is missing a song. The cd included a brilliant song called Late for Your Life which lead into a hidden track called Going Home which is the last song on the iTunes version. Even with the missing song I'm still grateful that this album has finally made it to iTunes and hopefully to a new audience that might have otherwise never discovered this wonderful album.
