After "The Greatest", this is a welcome return to form ... can't fault it, hauntingly beautiful. Didn't get off on "Jukebox", apart from a couple of excellent songs, but on this one she is back to her best.

I read a couple of negative reviews about this album, so I wasn't sure what to expect. This is much closer to the rich, multilayered sound of The Greatest and Jukebox than, say, Moon Pix, but in this case the instruments you'll notice most are drums and synthesizer. Apparently (according to comments Cat Power made in an interview), she wanted to push herself musically and do something she hadn't done before, which is why she deliberately tossed the stuff she'd written on guitar, and sat down with a synthesizer to play around with some new sounds. Thanks to their presence, this IS a different-sounding album. At the same time, though, there is still a darkness to even the most up-tempo songs, so the music is very reminiscent of the "southern gothic" sound of Powers' previous albums. I thought several songs sounded futuristic--like something you might hear in a movie while looking at a dark, rainy, Blade Runner-esque landscape, or perhaps as the soundtrack while someone walks into a dark nightclub.
I have eclectic tastes and so I was quite pleased with the purchase; as soon as I finished listening to the album the first time around, I put it on again. I never thought I'd hear Cat Power playing around with auto tune, but that and all the other electronic bells and whistles work. She's got a great hear for music and, of course, a great voice, which is a combo that is hard to beat.

This is all about personal preference, and I think it's a brilliant album. A bit of a departure for Cat Power music wise perhaps, so listen before buying.

Starts well
I liked the first song, second okay. Then from there on in found that the standard just dropped off. Overall disappointed.

Love this!
Great album from a very under-rated singer. This CD has hardly been out of my CD player since I got it. Would certainly recommend it!

Beautiful voice with 90% of the instruments played by Chan Marshall...
This is the second Cat Power album I have purchased and whilst not as instantly likeable as The greatest it has definitely grown on me .

New Dawn for Chan Marshall
I bought this the day it was released but on first play was really disappointed, but then I was expecting more of the Cat I have grown to love these last five years. Read more

Hotter than the Sun
There's been some strange reviews of this album. Let me assure you this is an album (in its own way) as strong musically as The Greatest, and, unlike say, Jukebox, has the tunes... Read more

In love with it after only one listen!!!
More than being Cat Power's first album in four years and first new material in six, it's self-produced and self-played. Read more

Nice to have her back
When Cat Power named her 2006 album The Greatest, I got the feeling she was being ironically self-deprecating, that's not because it wasn't a brilliant album, it was In fact one of... Read more

Worth the wait.
For her first album in six years Chan Marshall has changed tack slightly, it's for the better and clear from the first track that this is an altogether different beast. Read more
