It's out tomorrow. Reviews are predictably mixed.

there's nothing mixed about this review:

yeah all of the reviews i have seen so far have been stinky-poo (even from peeople who stumped for the last one)

I have a feeling I’m going to be the only critic on Earth who actually likes this record a lot, more than I have anything by her since the Whitechocolatespacegg demos or Whipsmart proper.

that cover sure emphasizes her leno-like chin.

I loved the last record.

I like that cover. It reminds me of Nancy Sinatra somehow.

"Now that we all agree 'Since U Been Gone' is a masterpiece"

Please ...

I don't think that line should be taken that literally, Tim.

jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 3 October 2005 20:22 (twenty years ago)

i think it is amy-speak for "now that 'since u been gone' has been accepted by the masses and hipsters alike", actually. either way, i enjoyed amy's review.

maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Monday, 3 October 2005 20:26 (twenty years ago)

But it IS a masterpiece!

It's better than that "I'm gonna soak up the sun" song - I'll give it that.

Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Monday, 3 October 2005 20:30 (twenty years ago)

it buries every solo Paul McCartney track ever

TS: "Since U Been Gone" vs "Junior's Farm"
