Why landslide rhymes the way it does
In our engine, landslide registers as a two-syllable word on the full-throated /aษช/ (/i/) that lands on a stopped consonant.

The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise.

With landslide, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
