Comparisons to Fiona Apple would be appropriate here. This is a very strong release. It's not without problems, though. The main problem is one of sequence and pacing really. There is not a huge difference from song to song in terms of tempo or volume level. When you also add in the importance of the vocal delivery to creating unique experiences, and the fact that there is enough variety to do that, the problem becomes evident. This set is a bit too monolithic. The thing is, the first few songs are all very unique creations. They are different from the bulk of the material presented here, too. I think that by moving some of those songs around, placing them in between tunes that are abit too similar, this would be a stronger set. There is not one song that fails as an individual cut. If you listen to your music as singles, everything here is worthwhile. It's when you listen to it as an album that it struggles a little. Better editing and song order would have made this a better release. Even so, it's not something to complain about, really.
