I basically ran to the local NRM to purchase this new ani difranco cd. I stuck it in the my guy friends cd player and was shocked to find out that ani sucks, her lyrics still beautiful, but her music is almost fading away. something happened to that strong voice and stong guitar, its as if listing through a brick wall. I love ani but as many times as i listen to this album i just can't get how you can go from Not a Pretty Girl and Imperfectly to this... well im not going to say not to buy this, because it is good, but its not what i was expecting.
