Highly underrated, and far from just a Joy Division/Interpol xerox. A gorgeous, catchy, and emotionally resonant album. Five stars. No 4.5's for this year.

I really like her first two albums. I probably need to give this one a few more spins, which will likely result in a bump-up. Edit: Yep. This is her show-tunes album. Crazy, Tom Waits-esque show-tunes, but show-tunes.

Welcome back, Kate! Not as wonderful as The Dreaming or The Sensual World (let alone Hounds of Love), but still very good, and still has her beloved personal stamp.

Certainly one of the gems of the decade. But we're talking about the aughts.
