Negative Positive
Title: A masterpiece. An Amazon essential for good reason.
Review: Thankfully for longtime EBTG fans and new converts, Ben Watts hadn't quite mastered the art of the drum machine on this album. The result is a truly striking melding of spare beats and the melancholy beauty of Tracy Thorn's aching vocals.This is not really a true dance album, but more of a typical EBTG pop album set to simple dance beats. It is not as layered as the sound of "Tempermental," which is a good thing. If you own earlier albums, don't be blinded by the machine sound. Buy it, listen to the songs, and realize it is a natural progression in the wondrous evolution of EBTG.For new fans used to electronica, this album shows what truly talented people can produce. It blows away anything you already know.
