You are willing to say only one of three Jon Brion albums doesn't turn you blue with disgust. You are willing to say that Brion hasn't changed is fundamental structure since 1994.

Mac: The Flaming Lips (Overrated, faddish, and grossly self-absorbed)
Windows: Jon Brion (powerful, confident, and elegantly versatile)
