ok so i'm listening to it right now...i just got it earlier tonight. i've gotten to the most slowdive sounding song. but it's got enough non-slowdive touches for it to be it's own thing. there's a lot of moj3 vibe on this but sometimes almost more than i'd want but then i tried to listen to this without any expectations. just curiousity...
i've wished for YEARS and YEARS that she would have a solo album so this is a longtime dream come true in a way.
the singing is wonderful of course. it's like being in love with shrimp and living in a city where shrimp comes thru once every few months. then all of a sudden you hit a shrimp buffet... weird but i hope that makes sense of it. the harmonies are luscious. and the vocals are recorded very up-front. probably some nice super-expensive condenser mics but who knows....
now i hopefully can look forward to solo rachel live.

p.s. i just heard a chord change from "so tired" on track 9
I'm sure Rachel would love being compared to a shrimp buffet.
j/k :)
