AndrewRDec 15, 2006I used to like the Indigo Girls but I feel that after so many albums their sound is getting stale. The same hooks, the same sorts of lyrics... "I'm the romantic one, I'm the angry one!" Perhaps there should be a rule that after a specific number of albums or years the band is forced to break-up. Not a bad album, just the same as it ever was... zzzzz!

Despite Our Differences... is both the most commercially viable and the most focused and energized that the Indigo Girls have sounded in a decade.

There is no commercial slant on this music, but it's more relevant than anyone dared expect.

Their distinctive differences as songwriters (Emily Saliers is soft and spiritual, Amy Ray punk rock and raw) are often complementary, but sometimes the songs cry out for more input from the other.
