Title: Wonderfully hard to categorize
Review: This album contains many different genres of music--all of them, however, bear the singular mark of Beth Orton. "Stolen Car" is folky mtv alternative rock; "The Sweetest Decline", an absolutely marvelous song, is breathless cabaret music; "Stars All Seem To Weep" is electronic; "Pass in Time," the worst song on the album, is unfocused Van Morrison; "Blood Red River" is riveting traditional folk. You get the idea. Orton's voice is magnificent--coy, breathy, but not at all weak, and quietly emotional. One criticism: she needs to shrug off the treacly folk sentiments in a couple songs and focus on tighter, more concrete (or looser, more surreal) lyrics. Nonetheless, this is a very rewarding album--one of the best of 1999.
