Look I really do feel that this album is the cure for Cancer, AIDS, secret to world peace, etc. oh my god I just realized I left the last track off when I made my CD! Oh please shoot me, I'm guilty. No, it can't be true. I shouldn't even talk. Never mind. Look, I have ordered the album already so at least I have paid for it.
I will say though, that I have absolutely NO problem with King of The Mountain now that I've heard the rest of the album. It fits in so very nicely and perfectly. It just isn't much of a "single" but then nothing on this is, and I like it that way.
I can't believe I missed the last track! Please shoot me now!

Also have strings sounded so good since the 19th century than they do on "Bertie"? (okay I trust you ILMers will point to examples, but never mind)
Somewhere during "Prologue" I realize I'm not in Kansas anymore. Further, I find it interesting that every time I hear the album it's always during "Somewhere In Between" that I suddenly notice it just does not SOUND like her, like nothing she's ever done before. This feeling continues through "Nocturne". What an acheivement!!

and then she just keeps going!
Fuck, that song kills me. The Bertie song too, I have nephews ages 5 and 3 and they are so much like that.
Top three of the year for me, for sure. And I didn't even really like the last two!

I wish I could remember where I've heard that earworm blues riff in "How to be invisible" before.

Packaging fetishists like me should note that the album is presented in a tri-panel gatefold digipack (heh - I was expecting one of those clunky double-width jewel cases like The White Album and The Wall still come in).
The inner gatefold pic is washing on a line blowing in the wind which gradually morphs as you go from left to right into doves on the wing. The lyric booklet is lovely too, lots of very personal images to go with Sea of Honey (cf. Mojo interview) and lots more bird and audiowave pics in the section on Sky of Honey.

The sheer intensity of the slowburn builds in "Sunset" and "Nocturne" and "Aerial" is just incredible.
