Title: Bizarre title - great songs
Review: Nina Persson's solo debut is an enjoyable, if somewhat inconsistent effort. At her best, we are reminded of the best work of Aimee Mann (and I would recommend Mann's "Bachelor No. 2" to fans of this album). The songs on "A Camp" veer from smooth and sweet (Frequent Flyer, Angel of Sadness) to hard and corrosive (Oddness of the Lord, Hard As A Stone). To Persson's credit, she carries off both very well. However, some of the more uncertain tracks, like "Walking the Cow" and "Silent Night", don't quite work. Highlights are undoubtedly "Song for the Leftovers", "I Can Buy You" and "Algebra", though there are plenty of others to choose from.
Is the review positive or negative?
