 Now a Stylus Recommends section. Big flashy animated gif ads. What next? Styforkmedia?

 I noticed that too. Must Stylus completely copy the Pitchfork site? How about a little variety to show they have their own identity? Oh, wait...maybe that's the lesson here. Sytlus is like the Rutles. Good review, though.

 Fantastic fucking album. The Greatest will easily make my top ten of 2006.

 I must admit, I do miss the Album of the Week section most.

 Hopefully, touring with the session guys will boost her legendarily mercurial live performances. Or at the very least encourage her to finish a set (I saw her in Memphis recently and it was abysmal). This review is spot on in recognizing that she's taken things to a new level after being pushed by the band and the horns in particular. I'll listen to this the rest for the of the year.

 I agree...the Album of the Week is missed.

 she's definitely grown here. it's not quite perfect but definitely one of her better albums. don't anyone try to say it's better than moonpix though, because you're wrong if you do :P boilingboy, you're very critical of this site. i'm really not interested in having an argument with you, but i'm just wondering why you keep visiting stylus if you find it so consistently disappointing?
