I got this album after hearing some of Christine's humorous songs. I was somewhat disappointed to find out that most of the songs on this album are serious. They are not bad songs, they are just not what I expected. And there are a few good funny songs. Christine is a clever songwriter, and fans of contemporary folk would probably enjoy her music.

I bought this Cd for 'Constant State of Want' after it played on Public Radio. I am quite pleased with the album. Several of the songs are stellar - 'Jane', 'The Sixth Floor', 'Jagged Hearts', 'Scatter New Seeds', 'Something Wrong with This Picture' are all great songs. The others are not bad, just unusual - you have to keep in mind that Lavin is a humorist so songs like 'Waiting for the B Train' and '*69' tell humorous stories. 'Waiting for the B Train' is hilarious - about people standing at the subway when someone thinks they see a puppy on the track and trying to get someone to go get it.

Christine Lavin's albums always are full of astute observations on the challenges and absurdities life throws at us. This album is no exception. She mixes humor and angst with a deft touch and produces a great album!
