Alone II is the best by far. practically works as an album, and has some of Cuomo's best work on either side of the century.

Alone I is still the best. The World We Love So Much is so fucking good

"longtime sunshine" is probably top because there's an Alone 1 and Alone 3 version of it...even though the A3 version is actually just reprises from LS and "superfriend." weird they aren't labeled as such.

Although there's a Weezer recording of it, Susanne should be #1. That song is the best.

I'm enjoying the book a lot and Alone III is great especially because you can compile all of songs from the black hole into a playlist

Pinkerton Diaries and CD arrived today for me in UK, only cost £70? (thats loads still, but not £120 like the guy said below?). Have already heard it as couldnt wait, but looking forward to thumbing through the book, seems like he has spent enough time on it!

Let Me Wash At Your Sink confirmed for Classic Cuomo status. Best song on the album. Too many demos of already released tracks

Alone III is pretty great. Very lo-fi, which is really cool. The demos of songs we've already hear also add a great insight into the world of River Cuomo. I love him. I'm so pissed I live in the UK and it costs $150 / £120 to get Pinkerton Diaries

Alone III is my favorite Alone. Works great as an album and really takes you on a melodical ride. And it has no clunkers and all awesome.

"Lisa" is top ten Rivers? top 100 yeah, top 50 maybe... (which is to say, pretty great)

It was never going to be a pretty collection of demos. The first thing we heard from it was I'm on Fire, You're A Liar, for crying out loud. It's rough and a great view into Rivers' mindset at the time.

Alone III is rough and gritty. Kinda like Pinkerton. It owns. Lisa is a classic, top 10 Rivers song.
