Title: The turning
Review: I had been a fan of Joni Mitchell for years when this came out and I tried to like it but was terribly disappointed. I am not someone who would complain just because this album was a departure from her folkish ways; I admired all earlier phases of her work, and there was something bold and different on each LP. Merely, I find the lyric writing here overwrought and the music weak and forgettable. The only brilliant track is the radical yet tuneful "Jungle Line." Obviously, there are many fans of this album, but I believe it's mostly appreciated on an intellectual level by people who can relate to the rather dismal stories on it. It's a bitter house of cards that randomly arranged music tries to hold together.
