Following Marrow the album trickles off into safe-ville, population Annie Clark.

I’ll still speak on it… you clearly didn’t listen to the album. It’s a shame that you didn’t… because the first half is really enjoyable.

Chris is speaking crazy-talk regarding Marrow, that song is IMMENSE (especially live)

Kyle’s right about that track

Kyle-I find it really interesting that you bring up Disney movies in your review, and how St. Vincent sounds a bit like “Trent Reznor scoring an old Disney movie,” because Annie claims that she was watching a lot of Disney films during while she was writing and recording “Actor,” which might have brought about the influence/sound you are speaking of. Nice astute observation.

I also found it quite intriguing that Kyle feels that the album gets stronger as it goes on, while Chris thinks the album starts out strong and gets a bit safe towards the end. I believe that sort of difference in opinion is why we do these four takes, so well done all.
