Title: If you went to Central Reservation, Don't go here!!
Review: I hooked into Beth Orton's Central Reservation about 9 months ago and have not let go. A truly fantastic album that will surely stand the test of time. I needed more Beth Orton and bought Trailer Park. I really wanted to like this album but after every listen I still find it absolutely horrible. The lyrics are trite and shallow and the music is hollow completely lacking emotion. Take for example "She calls your name, three times a day". It gets a lot worse. Is this the same person who wrote brilliant, piercing, and insightful lyrics on CR? I am embarrassed for Beth and cannot listen to this album without thinking it was from the mind of someone not thinking. This cd deserves one star for demonstrating how far she has come over the past two years. Buy CR and hear the true potential of this woman at her best.
