Her latest album '50 Words for Snow' might well be her most consistent album since Hounds of Love. Possibly her 3rd best behind that and The Kick Inside. Ariel I thought was rather overrated but this one sounds much more successful as a whole for me right now. Of course my opinion could change, but this is my initial impression. The style itself is quite minimalist and dependant on the emotional grip of the vocals so there is probably a bit of an emo influence. Though the tracks can be long they generally last out ok, maybe the title track could have faded out during the instrumental section near the end.
