    Sorry, but this album isn't as good as "Rabbit Fur Coat." It was supposed to be experimental and new and blahblahblah. Whatever. It was a failed experiment, much like Rilo Kiley's last album. There are about four tracks that I can listen to all the way through. The rest are collecting dust in my playlist. Get back to your roots, Jenny.

    Acid Tongue is where Lewis finally pulls it all together and delivers one killer of a record.

    Simple piano/bass head-bob 'Sing a Song' closes, reaffirming that Jenny Lewis' tongue lashings can't be matched for cheap thrills.

    There’s quite a supporting cast on Jenny Lewis’s second LP. Elvis Costello makes an appearance, Zooey Deschanel, Jonathan Rice and M Ward all pop by.
