Editorial Reviews :
Some 15 years and nearly as many albums into her career, Ani DiFranco--the original girl-power prophet and folkie punk--is still as willful as ever. Her lyrics remain poetic, polemical, and yes, occasionally maudlin; her musical explorations sound more like refinement than radical revision, but it's clear that she's still, well, evolving. Always a strikingly gifted and expressive singer and guitarist who employs her voice and guitar as both rhythmic and melodic instruments, DiFranco builds this set of songs on those basics but draws generously from the wide range of styles she's sampled since her stripped-down early days. A slinky Latin guitar line snakes through 'Promised Land,' gutsy New Orleans brass adds swagger to 'In the Way,' and jazzy keys, cool clarinets, and mournful muted trumpets lend color and tone to nearly every cut. Hooks are scarce in the disc's mushy middle, but the lush, horn-laden groove of 'Here for Now' recaptures the momentum, and DiFranco even drops a signature 10-minute epic in 'Serpentine.' Like Evolve itself, 'Serpentine' is sprawling, funny, angry, compelling, and entirely unafraid. --Anders Smith Lindall
Buyer Reviews :
Wow, Ani has yet to fail to impress me. I'm already sold -- I'll buy any album from her for as long as she makes music... she's that good.
Anyway, this is wonderful. Her words are piercing, provocative... they make you suddenly stop and ask, 'what the hell did she just say?'. She pours her heart right into those songs, those words, that music... like she never fails to do.
The songwriting style is like Rev/Reck. The horns play their strange harmonies while the drums are fantastically keeping me guessing. I have never heard her guitar playing any finer. Be ready. These songs will lunge at you, wrap themselves around you, and lure your willing consciousness right into their very existence.
This is genuine.
