I got this CD not long after I discovered Ani, and all I knew of her was some early-middle stuff, when she was just a girl and her guitar. So this CD was really a surprise and – no use in hiding it! – a tremendous disappointement. But it was a CD by Ani, and at the time the only CD I had of her, and I felt a bit guilty for not loving it at all so I kept on listening to it… and eventually it sunk in.

So after multiple listenings, I can now say that I love this record very dearly. Some songs – like Bodily – took me through hard times – Ani wrote the album after her divorce and it’s a really great music for surviving a break-up. It’s not 5 stars though because I am still somewhat annoyed by the very high and eerie back vocals, but all in all I love it.
