Is it just too much trouble for female (in particular) singers to ENUNCIATE their own lyrics? Don't they want their listeners to appreciate the words they slaved over? Guess not....

Ugh. This album reminds me of when my husband was on a ventilator with West Nile virus. I spent hours listening to this, among others, since it had just come out.

The subtle reflection in her vocals is British for those that find it disconcerting. She is tops in my musical repertoire.

Her songs feel a little like folk avant guard....keep them coming.

Is it too much to ask that they sing in time with each other?

The beginning of this song reminds me of a certain John Mellencamp song that I can't remember. Like 'em both.

Am grinding down my molars from irritation. Ick-ick-ick.
So am turning down the volume for a few minutes.
See you soon... |

If you like her sound, check out some of the work she has done with the Chemical Brothers, which was where I found her. It is obviously more "beat heavy," but she adds a very nice touch.

Interestingly enough, Johnny Marr of The Smiths and (sadly) Modest Mouse has co-credit on this track. I like Beth. Her singing is beautiful, and her prose is top-notch. What more can you ask for?  |
