Some of the reviews state that it's a return to _The Walking_. I can't wholly agree. It's ok. Nothing as stupendous as TW. But it's got some good cuts. I'd say the best are: Sweet Incarnadine, An Angel Stepped Down, and The Vigil. These are all in the same mood as TW, but the rest is kinda BbtB-esque. Well, ok, I've only heard it once. But I can't see why we need two versions of _Love is Everything_. I don't think it's her best song. I think lyrically and harmonically it's far inferior to TW. But then, TW is the best album ever recorded by a mere mortal. Oh, btw, I also picked up an album by Foetus: Male. So, you can see by my musical tastes (not to mention my philosophical tastes) that I'm not your normal consumer. And since she was targeting YourNormalConsumer(TM), I was guaranteed to not like it as well as _The Walking_. daemien obKT: last I heard Red Shoes has been pushed up to Sept, no day specified. I also downloaded this info on Katemas, but didn't realize the significance, and totally forgot the implications. Father forgive me for I have sinned. What is my pennance?
