Subject: Laurie quick review
This new album of hers, in my most humble of opinions, is excellent, and almost makes up for a recent disappointment... _Strange Angels_ is much more "easy listening" than early Laurie -- more like the song Language is a Virus than it is like Sweaters... Nevertheless, the album is creative and exciting. Her lyrics are as good as ever, and her sound is so polished! Her voice lessons have amazing results. In one song (at least) she sounds like a silky Sinead O'Connor! Unfortunately, none of the songs seem to touch the Essence of the Universe, Love, and Life in quite the same way that Sharkey's Day, or Gravity's Rainbow do. At least, not that I've noticed yet... Two thumbs up. A 9 on a scale of 0 to 10. -Marq "...heaven is like TV..." -Laurie
