One time this girl made me a mix tape and it had this song on it.
I immediately cut all contacts.
This is just awful.

Thought I'd heard all her stuff but this is a new, and thoroughly likeable, new discovery.

Quite enjoyed hearing this track at 3am here in Australia while feeding my newborn. Thanks RP :)

Very different for her. Listen to Calypso. Sweet.

It's good that you're doing your part.  That statement is probably somewhere in the comment threads for about 90% of the tunes here - that, or some lazy variation of "nails-on-a-chalkboard".

The entire album is a departure from her usual style.  Highly recommended.

This is a really good album overall.  All the songs you've heard and a lot that you haven't.

This is excellent! Something unusual for Suzanne. She can do no wrong. (Except a few tracks on 9 Objects of Desire).

Maybe...a bit... but "Mezzanine" was released in 1998 and "Blood Makes Noise" is from 1992...

It's Tchad Blake — an engineer of genius. He's really into the binaural thing. He's probably mixed most of your favorite records — mine too! (Recently recorded/mixed Peter Gabriel's last records.)

i didn't like her at all - that "my name is Luka" song got over played. but hearing some of her other stuff, like this song, changed my mind. her flat voice really fits her lyrics.

Every time i hear this intro I think I'm going to hear "Satisfaction" from DEVO.
Anybody out there got it?

Ma'am, I need you to step AWAY from the Balance button.

What is it exactly that makes this sound so weird on headphones?
It seems she is singing separate voices in each stereo channel, slightly out of sync, probably intentionally, for "effect". Either that, or the producer's 3 year old was zapping the Balance button back and forth as fast as possible.
I don't like it.

Well, heck... Suzanne Vega has been on the biz long enough, and published enough albums by now that if her quality, abilities and influence are not recognized by now, I don't think they're likely to be later.
Not everyone may like her music, as is usually the case with just about anyone, but I do believe that she is already a sufficiently well-known and respected artist that she can do whatever pleases her.

I'm sorry but she aint a Paul Simon or a Joni Mitchell - I've always found her songs thin, apart from Marlene On The Wall.
