The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Finally got around to Prisoner and just had the third listen and it really clicked in for me. I like the lyrical themes surrounding the breakup - gives him a new angle to write about. I just find his melodies so effortless, deceptively so at first. But now I'm all on board. He's at his best on this one when the Smiths influence shines through a little more than the Springsteen.

About 5 tiresome listens for me. Still sounds like 12 retreads. I'll keep trying every so often.

After my first run-thru I was worried this would be my reaction. But for whatever reason, it works for me now.
Maybe b/c I started playing it back-to-back with the new Spoon, two records that could not be more different.
