Liz Phair - Freak of Nature - Non-Album Tracks (1996-1998)

Here's the next in my series of non-album tracks for Liz Phair. That time period culminated in the release of her 1998 studio album "Whitechocolatespaceegg."

In my opinion, the vast majority of Phair's original songs are very good, but she's made mistakes about which songs to put on her albums and overly slick/ commercial production choices. As a result, it's often the case that the songs left off her albums are as good as the ones on her albums. I think that's largely the case here, although they don't fit together as well as typical albums do.

Five of the songs here are officially unreleased. One of them, "Oh My God - That's the Way I Like It," was played on TV at one point. The other four (tracks 4, 5, 6, and 8) are studio outtakes that sound very good. As for the rest, it's a typical mix of B-sides, bonus tracks, and soundtrack songs.

This album is 38 minutes long.
