Rating: 4/5 stars Pros: - Beautiful, distinctive voice - Wonderful accompaniment & instrumentals - Good variation in energy throughout album - Powerful individual songs Cons: - The message is simultaneously one-note and muddled. Half of the album attempts to be soft-spoken protests & reflections against/on society, and half of the album attempts to be anodyne love/relationship songs. The clearest protest songs (Talkin' Bout a Revolution, Why?, Mountain of Things) fall flat to my ears. Perhaps an artefact of age/time since the album was released, but these songs had little to say that has not been expressed a million times before with far deeper consideration. The best songs are those which (at least appear to) convey personal experiences - Fast Car and Behind the Wall (to the extent it can be called a song). - The majority of the love/relationship songs are forgettable, though still quite enjoyable.
