The title track is transcendent. The rest of the album is good, but feels low-key and unexciting. I expect I would feel differently if I had been around when it was released.

Groovy! What's not to like? Nothing resonated so fiercely to call me to repeat listen, but it was an enjoyable ride. Might listen to the whole again.

Sounds SO much like Anais Mitchel. It's gorgeous. What wonderful sound.

there is no song more emblematic of sex than Let's Get It On. It's archetypal to the point of no longer being lowbrow. It is our shared language, and it is powerful, and it is glorious.

That was beautiful and Interesting. Up with People fit the vibe so well.

Such simple but extraordinary concepts expressed so beautifully with such an arresting voice. This album hit me emotionally harder than any before. Anohni is truly amazing.

This sounds like an album from the early 90's, late 80's at the latest. Amazing this angular sound originates in the 70's. Love the alt rock vibe.

I don't know if I liked Enter Sandman and Nothing else Matters because I already know them, or if they are really the two standout songs from the album. It was a nice enough album, but did not make me a Metallica fan.

Very smooth, very nice. Nothing blew me away, but I could see myself giving another listen.

Rated 10/10

So last Tom Waits album, I didn't really get it. The gravel doesn't lend itself well to general music. This album? Perfect. It's a character actor voice. Here he plays a character on every song and it's genius.
