It doesn't hold up so close to the end of the year: too quiet, almost tentative. "Only An Expert" and "Bodies in Motion" are my favorites. The second half is actually stronger.

hmmm I love the quiet stuff especially the ones with Eyvind Kang... was really put off by "Only An Expert" at first but it grew on me.
any way you slice it this seems like her best since Bright Red.

her delivery on "dark time in the revolution" -- her maternal smirk on the line "no matter who you vote for", or the whisper finishing "and you thought there were things / that had disappeared forever / things from the middle ages / beheadings and hangings / and people locked in cages / and suddenly they were everywhere" -- is great agitprop.

I really need to spend some serious time with this album - only enjoyed it casually for the last year and I think it deserves better
