    It's this insistence on resolutely following her instincts that makes this record so lustily appealing from top to bottom. [Nov 2011, p.95]

    Ultimately, what it all boils down to is that, as much as an album can be, it's pretty damn close to being flawless; not only matching the quality of The Reminder but actually bettering it.

    Most of the songs deal with romance in its more dysfunctional guises, but Feist's comforting vocals keep things from getting too forlorn. [#81, p. 54]

  1. A beautiful assembly of songs that manages to skip back and forth between different styles while still feeling entirely coherent, and it ends up all amounting to a gorgeously tragic musical exploration of solitude. Expand

    The perfect follow-up to the reminder. There aren't any iPod commercials on this album but it is solid from beginning to end. Feist is making great music. This is an album by someone in it for the long haul, not by a pop princess. Expand

  3. It's her best album (so far), and the most cohesive yet. All these songs are well done, but the truly exceptional ones are "The Bad in Each Other" "Caught a Long Wind" "The Circle Married the Line" and, especially, "Anti-Pioneer" which may be her finest song to date (although it's slow buildup and subtle construction nearly ensure few people will hear it). She continues to be one of the finest indie solo artists out there, and her music continues to be wonderfully varied and high quality. Expand
