Yeah I have to agree it's not her best work. Personally, as far as her work with John perish goes, I think Dance Hall At Louse Point was a much more emotionally provoking, and as a whole, much more solid work. In comparison to her work on a whole, I think this album found some middle ground between what she was doing in Dry and what she was in White Chalk. I prefer the extremities, though, so I would take either album over this last one; which feels to me more grounded in the middle, where reality is. A great album in the scheme of music and especially a treat for 2009, I'm glad it is there and of course it's a work played with utmost of talent- as one would expect from Polly Jean.
