'Wasted Time' - from Me'Shell's 'Bitter'-album I've been listening to 'Bitter' alot lately, IMO maybe Me'Shell's best album. One track that stands out for me is 'Wasted Time'. Hear it with headphones, it's great!
Does anyone know who the other voice belongs to? And why does the song end so abruptly after 4:55 min? I really sounds like they cut it of in the middle off a verse.... | |

the other voice is Joe Henry, Madonna's brother-in-law. a good singer/songwriter in his own right.
Bitter is so beautiful. "Awards are like hemorrhoids. Sooner or later, every asshole gets one." | |

Bitter is so beautiful. I thought the other voice was a woman all this time! Thanks! | |

Best song on that album. Brilliant track. The rest is very forgettable. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No it's not! Yeah actually it is. I can't name one other song on the album or tell you what they sound like. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

the song ends abruptly because they realize going forward would be a "waste of time"... its a brilliant moment!!! Space for sale... | |

I wouldn't say that the rest is forgettable, but 'Wasted Time' is certainly the best track on 'Bitter'! | |

I love this album. My favorite has to be her cover of Hendrix's "May This be Love." I love the strings on that song. "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

I love Bitter, but this is the only track on there that I skip over every time. Every other song has a beautiful discernable melody, but this one seems like it was thrown together at the last minute. It's not a bad song altogether, but it doesn't do much for me.
In other words, I completely disagree with Ifsixwuz9. | |

In other words, I completely disagree with Ifsixwuz9. wow, wow, wow.....I thought like that as well for a long time, but please try & listen to this song with high-quality headphones, it's amazing what you'll hear! I totally rediscovered it this way, hence I started this thread! The beat, the guitars (especially the on in your right ear, this one you hardly hear when played on a normal home HiFi-set), and feel those lyrics..... | |

The ending of that song is total coitus interruptus. | |

Hey, i can have my opinion too! At least abierman convinced me to try it again.... I still stand by what I said about a discernable melody. | |
