5.0 out of 5 stars A great disc for streering wheel drummers!, May 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Little Plastic Castles (Audio CD)

Last weekend my wife and I took a drive up the ragged California coastline. I stuffed the CD changer with six discs and set it to Shuffle Mode. It wasn't too long before I HAD to get out of shuffle and play "Little Plastic Castles" in its entirety. Ani's attack on these poor defenseless guitar strings is matched only by her syncopated delivery of her lyrics. As DiFranco fans have come to expect, the lyrics have a honest intensity that you just don't find on the radio. The line in "As Is" that gets me every time:

When I look down/ I just miss all the good stuff/ And when I look up/ I just trip over things

In fact, while my wife shopped at a factory outlet mall, I sat in the car in the parking lot, put the disc in repeat, and listened to "As Is" (at least) ten times in a row!

Keep looking straight ahead, Ani...

this cd, as with most of ani's music at first takes you by surprise. she always seems to find a new way to express herself yet give the same raw emotion. LPC is amazing. i'm unsure about this import extra tracks thing, though. i only see one additional song. "little plastic castle-just a different version. is it really worth an extra $20?

5.0 out of 5 stars refreshing...but still Ani!, April 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Little Plastic Castles (Audio CD)

I love this album! In true Ani style, the lyrics are strong, colorful, and opinionated making the album worth listening to over and over. What is different about this album is that while she still expresses her very-opinionated, often cynical views, her m elodies and rhythms are significantly more upbeat. She experiments with many new instruments on the tracks of this album; even brass in "Deep Dish." This is a big change from her mostly-accoustic guitar past but it works well for her. "Little Plastic Cas tle" is one of those albums that each time you sit down and listen to it you find something new to love that you had previously overlooked. Ani is evolving but is just as increadible as always! l
