I can sum this album up very easily: background music for a "family car" commercial. Bought it because i was so impressed by her stuff on Magnolia, and the cover looks cool(which is stupid of me!). But this music is almost difficult to listen to, much less pay attention to lyrical content, etc... No hooks. No good melodies that you will find yourself humming in the shower. in fact, i'll go as far as to say, i dont know how music like this actually makes it to record store shelves. Had more faith in "the toughest business in the world" i guess. My advice: skip this and just bang your head into a wall. Its a better way to get a headache.
