And I don't like it at all. The lyrics sound like she literally sat down and was like this songs going to be about crystals and this ones going to be about tectonic plates. Its like shes using a bunch of metaphors that don't mean anything. I would be more forgiving but even the production sounds like crap, and I hate how there isn't much song

I've been thinking of that quote too - "Number one, two, three and all the way up to 75: I'm a pop musician. And I make music for the every-day person."

I've always felt she was this eccentric, genius, bizarre little music-mind who was striving to make her songs work for the masses... and the result is something that nearly anyone can love: beats, swooping melodies and strings, passionate vocals. Her songs were still genius and different but they were sort of translated or given a sort of lovely sweet-coating that brought people to love her music... Not that it ever became MAINSTREAM, but it just had more appeal. People could have fun with this really sort of high-brow compositions...

I don't know maybe that doesn't make sense. But it seems like now she's totally given up on making her music have that kind of appeal... she's now content to let it be sort of specialized, super-avant-garde experiment that now it's almost not even music anymore?

:(

Maybe the full proper finished version of the album will yield at least one good song.

No, I think it makes a lot of sense. I'm not sure that she's totally given up on her pop-musician mission, but it sure seems she's off on a side-track. I think we're allowed to feel disappointment and yet still respect her for her choices.

I'm hoping for at least one new good song too. *crossing fingers*
