Sucks when you're really looking forward to an album and it falls flat. But it really sucks when you're looking forward to an album and you desperately need it to stop after the third song. The indiscriminate use of ups-and-downs, ins-and-outs of her voice (contralto?) drove me bonkers. I assume this was involuntary or she hadn't ever heard a recording of her work. Love AW's voice and singing in VERY SMALL DOSES. My max is really about 3 consecutive songs. I muscled through, but was ready to quit after track 3.
