Negative Positive
Title: The milk eyed mender, voice like a blender.
Review: I bought this album on the strength of a New York Times review that made Joanna Newsom sound like the greatest female vocalist since Joni Mitchell. I fired up the CD and was stung by how horrible her voice is. She sounds like a grade schooler learning the words to her own song. I thought the first track had to be a daughter or very young sister but I became depressed after the second track and realized this is her actual voice. I have a feeling this is some hip chick being promoted by the politically correct media, but she should make her career in orchestra. Do yourself a favor and listen to the tracks before you buy. I didn't because I trusted the NY Times. This album makes the case that music should be free.
Is the review positive or negative?
