I was in college when I first discovered Lisa. I was going through some turbulent emotional times. I bought "Geek the Girl" in a cutout bin for $2 or $3 simply because the cover and song titles looked interesting. I listened to it and it struck a nerve at that particular moment. Thus, I end up having a certain emotional and sentimental attachment to it IN ADDITION TO enjoying the lyrics and music. The melodies bring back the memories.
