At least as good as the tok tok album: LOVE IT

"after a long delay (3ish years), i heard there was a soffy o album and that it was just her with a band as opposed to the producers tok tok from her first album. i figured it would sound more "traditional", but better than the sometimes dry production on that first one...it was a great album, but sometimes her brilliance was underscored by overly basic synths and drum machines.



anyhow, i was half right. it does sound better production-wise, but it's still got a synth pop feel to most of the tracks. then again, she could sing over the sounds of barnyard animals and blenders and make it work. great album, great songs and a singer that - in a perfect world - would have people saying "gwen who??"



i'd even dare say she's the next siouxsie sioux. that's right - I WENT THERE. once again, great album. buy it."
