>Settle Down
-10/10. This song made me love her. It is very "dancy" and it gives me a mixture of an "African" vibe with a good "1920's jazz song. Very interesting, indeed. Her vocals sound amazing on it too.

>Cameo Lover
-10/10. It has so much going for it. It starts out very "poppy" and evolves into a giant orchestral masterpiece.

>Two Way Street
-8/10. Very "pretty" in my opinion. Not one of my favorites, but I admire it.

>Old Flame
8/10. Interesting composition. Again, not one of my favorites.

>Good Intent

10/10. The definition of smooth. I am very fond of this track. It is quite "classy" for the music I am used to hearing.

>Plain Gold Ring
9/10. I think it is a masterpiece, however, it is a kind of sound you really have to me in the mood to hear. In case you
did not know, this is a cover.

>Call Me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SPzPcZbYEg
9/10. Still smooth, just a bit repetitive for me. I don't mind it though.

>Limbo
9/10. I like how all the layer's sound when they are together. It is a rather complex composition... It isn't my favorite, but
I think it is worth a listen.

>Wandering Limbs
10/10. I love how she created a very dark-like mood with it, and how everything builds up. It also is a duet.

>Withdraw
8/10. It is a bit slow. It also isn't my favorite kind of chord progression. Yet, it still is art to my ears.

>The Build Up
9/10. It reminds me of Bjork's style of composition. It is very haunting if you listen closely. I like it.

>Somebody Please
*NOTE: This track is only on the Australia/New Zealand version*
9/10. Pretty interesting composition. I like the guitar in the background. I can see why it was removed from
the US and UK versions though, because I think it is the weakest track on the album... Yet, I rate it high
for its "flow."

Hope you enjoyed the review.
Give me your opinions.
This is one of my favorite albums by one of my favorite artists, so I hope I wasn't being too biased.
Have a good day/night.
