    As a lover of ERR's heavier work, particularly her previous record Marked For Death, I was unsure upon first listening to On Dark Horses. But this record's initial subtlety is one of its greatest strengths. 10-20 listens in, I'm convinced that ERR has produced a masterpiece to define her career.
