Today's featured shit

In short, if the lead singer of Stretch Princess did a solo album and folked it up a bit, it would sound like this.
This sleepy little CD gets the job done if you want above-average singing and quiet, slow accompaniment. There’s nothing complicated about this album at all.
“The Most Delicious Hours” is one of the best songs. It would do well with some harmonizing, even if provided by the singer herself. Like a lot of the tracks, it’s so simple and basic, and I feel she is holding herself back a bit.
“Song of the Breadwinner” is a good story if you focus on the lyrics. It’s great for a cool autumn day. “More to Speak Of” is also a lot of fun.
These songs are really long, which is the only knock against them. It’s hard to stay engaged with such long tracks when they plod along so. If this record were a beverage, it would be herbal tea. “The Dream” makes me think I am in one, the kind where you fly through the skies using your four poster bed as an aircraft.
“Seems I’m Never Tired Lovin’ You” is a little bit country. It is your standard final track: a departure. It’s not bad, though.
