Comparisons with such late-career highlights as Johnny Cash's American Recordings albums and Leonard Cohen's You Want It Darker are inevitable, but Negative Capability really does belong in such exalted company.

To begin writing Faithfull off with this album would ... be a gross insult. These songs may be scorched with an unavoidable yearning quality, but they find her standing at a new creative peak.

Featuring an array of faultless performances from some of the most celebrated musicians of the past 30 years ... Negative Capability is a quite remarkable piece of work.

In 1964, Marianne Faithfull was a budding talent with genuine promise, and in the decades since, she's matured into a strikingly effective performer and a songwriter with a clear, brave voice. Negative Capability is a testament to her journey and what it has taught her, and it reminds us she's still a talent capable of drawing our attention.

Despite the wreck she's carrying, she convinced her heart to sing some shivering melodies that reveal her real beauty and an unusual sincerity that reminds me of real pain.
