### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great new album from Hersh & co
  

*by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2013*

It's 25 years since Throwing Muses' original line-up blew me away, and a barnstorming gig in June 1989 is still my all-time favourite.  (Not that there haven't been great Muses gigs since then!)  This beautifully produced CD/Book is a fine and fitting installment in the Throwing Muses catalogue.  There are several strong tracks here (e.g. Lazy Eye, Milan, Slippershell) that quickly work their way into your imagination, and several other more subtle or apparently slight pieces that will slow-burn around your brain.  Overall, the album rewards repeat listens, revealing new pleasures and characteristics.  Most of Kristen Hersh's familiar lyrical tropes are present; she's still an expert at putting a twist on common cliches and delivering dead-pan puns, and it's great to find she can still surprise after all these years.  An exploration of the strangeness and wonder and horror of life as it's lived in 21st century America, I would strongly recommend this to anyone who's enjoyed the Muses in the past, and to anyone who wants their rock music to surprise and provoke them.

*by T***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2014*

I think I would just say this...this album is Kristin's Abbey Road. It is a wonderful flowing piece of continuous music that showcases her at the peak of her creative powers, along with the two out Muses.All the unexpected hooky melodies weave with a narrative that  dances between surreal and cerebral leaving you fully satisfied as well a spell bounds by Kristin's story telling. One of the best albums of the year by far. As other reviewers have  noted your  perspective and  experiencing will continual to evolve the more this album gets into your rotation, which is the true test of greatness.

    A must own
  

*by S***5 on Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2014*

As I sit listening to this straight through for the first time (and as a huge TM fan) I cannot get over how amazing this collection of songs is! It is incredibly cohesive, diverse and innovative. I'm challenged to think of another TM album I would recommend more, and that is saying a lot!  A must own for any fan, and as good a place to jump into their music as any I would say if it's new to you. This far exceeded my expectations for a new album from them after all this time.
