Album Of The Week: Kacey Musgraves Golden Hour

I used to think of it as the "Snoopy Track" problem. Maybe now it's the "Supercut" problem. It's a weird, petty, entirely personal thing, and yet it drives me fucking nuts. It's the feeling that there is an absolutely amazing song buried deep on an album, and that this song is bound to be a deep cut forever, that it will never become the generational anthem that it should be. It doesn't matter whether the rest of the album is great -- which it frequently is -- or whether the song itself ever had any real shot at being a hit. It's just out there, lurking, waiting for the world to discover it, for everyone else to get the same endorphin-rush from a song that you do.
