    McManus and collaborators have created a rock album virtually indistinguishable from something made contemporaneous to this story, and I hope they continue gaslighting audiences with their love for '70s rock for years to come. Unique in form, funny and sad in context, I feel like I know everything about Margaret and Danny's marriage simply through the way they speak to each other musically — so it is a gift to also have their 50 years of retrospective perspective playing out on top, like a beautiful live commentary track. Would be excellent for colleges.
