this is peak i love the songwriting and how BUSY all the songs are, the opener "Taxi Girl" is the perfect introduction to the album's tone.
the title track is SO perfect with its almost riot grrrl vibe, other songs like "Best Black Dress" and "Cowards" also stand out.
Abra's range is sooo interesting, here she taps into a tone that only occasionally reaches the higher pitch featured in her other work.
Liked the acoustic approach esp in songs like the haunting "Prayer for an Angel" or the upbeat "Half Step and a Tumble"
Perhaps not as interesting as other albums but completely enjoyable
Unusual mix of celine dion style ballads and instrumentally-heavy tracks filled w reverberous strings.
"Let Her Feel The Rain" and "Red" are standouts, def felt some strong 80s vibes that I enjoyed more than I usually do thanks to the minimalist production that felt very calming.
came on shuffle and immediatelyyyy knew i was gonna like this, Carson's voice has that rare silky, delicate quality that immediately demands your attention without really doing anything.
the opener is the most perfect slow triphop with swirly string accents
Love the vocal layering in songs like "Fade", so up my alley and perfectly representative of everything i like most about late 90s music
solid canadian rock album!!
I really love how the lyrics can go from deeply introspective to playful and unserious, "Numb" and "Porno Mouth" are seriously amazing,
Pitchfork was wrong asfff for putting this cover in their worst of all time list they js dont get it..
