Negative Positive
Title: Promising first album
Review: While there are inevitable comparisons to Tori, the most blatant being "Candlelight", there is enough uniqueness and pop hooks to make this very enjoyable listen. References to Kate Bush are also apparent. However, the edgier cuts sound like how Tori might have sounded had she allowed Trent Reznor to really cut loose on some of the cuts he helped her with. Great guitars sounds and driving rhythms on songs like "Angry Angel" & "Useless." "Rake It In" is an early favorite for me, with an incredible pseudo-punk breakdown that she resolves in poly-rhythmic brilliance. Looking forward to more from this artist.
