First listen, I don't hate this, rather surprisingly.

Doubt it completely deserves it but this is going to get a lot of 9 and 10's alright.

But that cover art should be condemned by priests and burnt with chemical weapons. If anybodys music doesn't need that kind of "DO YOU SEE? L@@K! SYMBOLISM AND DENSE MEANINGS" attaching to it it's hers. There are about 30 too many eggs on the icing of this pudding.

WICKEDHEINOUS COVER ART QUA VALID EXTRA-FORMALIST CRITICISM?

Heh, they had a Lily Allen remix in the famed downloads folder too.

Talk about pwned!!

I hope I don't go off this hard at some point (I to-and-fro with her like nobody else) because I've only got good things to say about it so far! Wasn't expecting much but it's marvellous.

I can't get through the whole thing.

It's beautiful in small doses, but in larger doses, cloying and twee and gets on my nerves. Sorry.

I'm actually finding it an easier straight-through listen than her debut weirdy...

It's gonna take a while for me to form an opinion. Sometimes I think the orchestral maneuvers overwhelm what she's doing, but sometimes not. Sometimes in the same song. It's not as bad as I feared though, there was definitely some care taken to avoid drowning her in an ocean of strings.

I keep coming back to this thought: Pink Moon is to Bryter Later as Milk-Eyed Mender is to Ys.

I'm not sure my opinion is exactly solid, but I still admire what she's doing a lot.

Whether I truly love it, or even enjoy it as much as everyone else seems to is a whole different matter...
