Aggressively confrontational beat-poetry inspired folk. In a no man's ground between rap-poetry, folk and the nameless vitriol that would be christened punk-rock, Gil Scott-Heron is maybe the straightest comparable I can think of.
Very powerful stuff.
At times feels like a slower take on the, yet to be invented, 1st wave of UK punk -sound. Nothing amazing, except for No Trains To Heaven, which was an absolute pleasure.
An uneven album, that's peak Peggy on the top tracks, but a tad uninventive all too regularly. Somewhat unremarkable at the start, the album picks up pace and builds itself an identity the longer it goes.
Bleachers continues on its track of being a sort of watered down, easy listening version of Bruce Springsteen. This time though its with a handful of very out of character auto-tune tracks thrown in. These lack taste and sour the whole album in a way. Its definitely original and autotune isn't something to be automatically hated on, but man is the balance off on a couple of these.
