True. Didn't think of this till you pointed it out, but absolutely. It's like the antithesis of the pop culture, celebrity, inverse cock rock, and nth-wave feminism of her stuff from Goo and later.

The early Kim material is often some strong shit. To me, "Pacific Coast Highway" or "Early American" are far more interesting and less obvious explorations of men's dark sides than say, "Swimsuit Issue" or "Kool Thing." But they're also perhaps harder to listen to and less explicitly "relatable" for many people.
