"Witness (1 hope) is my favorite track" Reply
"Some old school JD before the Mountain Goats became a band. If you like All Hail West Texas, you'll dig this as well." Reply

"This is my #18 best album of 2016. This is probably her best album since 2001's All for You" or 1997's stellar "The Velvet Rope". It sounds current and relevant, while still maintain her identity. It doesn't sound like she's trying too hard. She's just being Janet. This is another album that's a ..." [+] Reply
