Birobidzhan

Without a doubt this represents the peak of everything that came before it, all the previous music and albums leading almost inevitably to this perfect, faultless amalgamation of sound.

Best: Wish You Were Here
Worst (still great): Have a Cigar

Definitely a case where the result is greater than the sum of its parts

Maybe I hate fun, but this didn't excite me as much as I hoped. Still quite good though

This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime album. It's incredible how she managed to create such deep, intimate beauty from such unusual, minimalistic sounds. I also love how evident it is that she's not a native English speaker. You would expect it to detract from the art, but instead it just adds another layer of intimacy. So stunning.
