The forum in which all human experience resides. Especially for fans of the now-deceased original Hall of the Wendigo. Still Number One with the core demographic.

You can tell that black people were involved in the creation of this composition.

Best track on the album by a mile was that.

It is over.
I felt it was solid but lacking in inspiration and imagination, sticking far too closely to how one expects those songs to sound.
Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it.

Very hard to know what score it deserves.

Well, it was all very pleasant, and she does have a great and unique voice. But at times the songs were a little unremarkable, samey and on occasion made one feel like it was just an album of boring "standards". Her voice really was the selling point here.
3/5
