    While not as bad as the PopMatters review says, the CD is too depressing without a change of pace. The CD is better taken as individual songs.

    There's less of the wry humor Germano usually allows to shine through once in a while... This is also her least gauzy-sounding album since Slide... Despite these differences, In the Maybe World is still a strong addition to her body of work.

    The problem is, it’s easy to lose the lyrics when the music gives us no reason to listen to them.

    In The Maybe World is an accessible, if lyrically opaque, work that should please fans of avant-pop that doesn't sound remotely like any of the other cerebral chanteuses out there.
