Well, except for lines like... "It's an odd notion but the music is really what's detracted from Germano's increasingly excellent songwriting all these years." Which leads to, um, creative prose like this... "Though its divergent tracks are merely distractions, the record would push either monotony or melodrama without them; they reassure us she hasn't forgotten the self-assured, sexed-up smirk that sold so many of us down her dizzy rollercoaster in the 1990s. Where she once darted past our baiting stares with coy glimpses and we'll-see winks, after ten years Lisa Germano is no longer playing in those fields, resolved, somewhat remorseful and shooting back an unwavering, crushing gaze." I mean, is there a school where people go to learn how to write like this without needing to run out of the house and ask someone to please take their computer away from them before they murder any more words?

I love how he said "geek the girl" is over-produced... umm, didn't she just record that record on her home DAT recorder, and didn't 4AD just release it without any fine-tuning or remixing. I don't think you can get any UNDER-produced than that. this reviewer is spouting out bunk without any friggin' research. and, also, when was she involved with Lilith Fair? i don't remember anything like that ever happening. - -kt On Saturday, May 3, 2003, at 04:34 AM, Myles Cochran wrote: > Well, except for lines like... > > "It's an odd notion but the music is really what's detracted from > Germano's > increasingly excellent songwriting all these years." > > Which leads to, um, creative prose like this... > > "Though its divergent tracks are merely distractions, the record would > push > either monotony or melodrama without them; they reassure us she hasn't > forgotten the self-assured, sexed-up smirk that sold so many of us > down her > dizzy rollercoaster in the 1990s.
