It's a more musically layered album than her last one, with more sound experimentation, feedback, etc. On the other hand, it retains the subtle, yet polished production that we've come to expect from 4AD releases. Lisa has also progressed as a lyricist. Her songs have managed to keep the straight-forwardness that made me fall in love with her as a songwriter, but she uses more interesting expressions, metaphors, etc. ("God's a soul masturbator" from track #11, "Reptile") on this one, without sacrificing either originality or sincerity. --Matt J > It is an extremely textured group of songs that are both catchy as well as > an intense listening experience.
