"Her most consistent and fully realised project to date. It's a grey-on-pink, Star Trek sci-fi meets Drag Race camp whirlwind, with a sound completely in love with the early 90s.

"Upon review this may be the most criminally underrated album of all time. This is perfection, holy shit. What a fucking master work." Reply

"This album surrounded me growing up and still almost does, despite me rarely making a conscience effort to listen to it. The impact that The Beautiful Letdown had in Christian culture was almost comparable to the impact the Nevermind had in mainstream culture. All of my friends and I knew every s..." [+] Reply
