Ember Swift's songwriting left me cold. While I like her politics such as on "H2O," the songs sound like they were improvised more than written. She tries to stick in lots of words as on "Disarming," "I like those who crave to engage, strip down, who don't fuss with protective real conversations, with real eyeballs, no smoke screens." Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of musicality to back it up other than the rat-a-tat of the rhythm guitar bursts. As a vocalist, she has a strong voice. Her band is pretty good. However, there isn't one track on the disc I want to hear again. Taxi!
