    This album is very honest lyrically. It's very musically simple, but if you're an indie rock fan you may or may not like this CD. It is most definitly nit happy, but I personally strongly recommend the album. Listen to the lyrics and enjoy the mussic

    Ani was my favorite until this album appeared. I suggest buying some of her earlier stuff: I could listen to "to the teeth" all day long. Skip this one.

    Educated Guess explores new musical territory that is challenging enough to engage even the most folk-averse listeners while it maintains a unity of tone which yields a highly listenable work.

    Paradoxically, its spare, solo-voice-and-guitar format... comes closer to matching DiFranco's charismatic live performances than prior band-driven efforts. [Mar 2004, p.87]

    An album sanded with sad humor and a return to old loves. [Mar 2004, p.96]
