"I was put-off by Newsom's bizarre vocals when I first heard this album but once I warmed up to them, I really grew to appreciate the uniqueness of Milk-Eyed Mender. To be honest, I actually like her EP more but this album really is great. If you don't like this album on your first listen, give it another shot."
Ms. Newsom's music is a gift.

"Who else would provide us with this music? Too bad for those who aren't into her style of singing. The songwriting is obviously brilliant whether or not you like the voice. I'm in complete awe of this album, her second album "Y's", and we'll see about the third (check it out if you don't like her voice here, her new style is infinitely more accessible to a broader audience). Anyways, this album is very special. One of those debuts that has little chance of being topped."
