I just picked it up. 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_.

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?
