'I have always been passionately in love with musical albums that no matter to how many they are beloved, suddenly become your own when listened to alone in your room or car. Give it time and you'll grow to love it with each listen.' Don't dismiss it through the first few listens. If you are a Kristin fan! Buy this album. Sort of flutter but not in a fairy sort of way. Like they make me shiver but not exactly shiver. There is something about the way that they sound that gives me a very odd sensation in my body. The violins on 'Deep Wilson' give me the chills, they are amazing. Sort of the way you love people - you can't love all of them as a collective, they are individuals and must be loved that way. I love all of her albums, each in their own individual way. They all seem to be very telling of her life at the time she wrote the album. I can be in the mood to listen to Kristin, but it has to be a particular album depending on my mood. Kristin's albums all have to be accepted in their own way. It's very different from 'Sunny Border Blue.' It has a deeper, more emotional edge to it. This album is taking it's time to grow on me. I think this album is going to be the same for me it will grow more on me and I'm sure it will become another Kristin favorite. I didn't like 'Strange Angels' the first time I heard it because it wasn't 'Hips & Makers.' But it really grew on me after seeing Kristin live several years after 'Strange Angels' had been released and after 'Sunny Border Blue' was released. I am really starting to like this album a lot. I've been trying to listen to it, but the Throwing Muses album released on the same day has been played many more times than this album. 'It's taken me a while to like this album.
