Sometimes Less Really is More
Review Score: 








(10/10)
I was not blown away by this album upon first hearing it. However, it slowly worked its magic on me and now this is one of my favorites from this formidable, talented duo. I like the Indigo Girls for their sheer songwriting, harmonizing, and musical skills. They're never dull, and willing to experiment and and try a new direction, which is artistically important. I don't consider myself an "acoustic-only Indigo Girls" or "hard-rock, experimental Indigo Girls" fan. I enjoy and respect all of their albums, though Rites of Passage, Swamp Ophelia, and Come On Now Social are definitely faves (along with Become You).
The best tracks on this release are Emily's poetic "Deconstruction" and gorgeous "Hope Alone" while Amy's "Bitterroot" and "Become You" are flawless. However you classify yourself in terms of Indigo Girls' musical styles, this album will not disappoint and features some of their most introspective, mature lyrics to date.
