Return to pre-Shaming of the Sun form

Review Score:

(6/10)
Become You is a treat for fans of early Indigo Girls, as it is definitely a return to the acosutic form of their earlier work. The album has a very "Nomads, Indians, Saints" feel to it. Not at all a bad thing, but if you're expecting this album to be as rocking as "Come On Now Social", then you won't get what you expect.

Looks like Amy Ray got the electric-rock bug out of her system with "Stag". Nothing on Become You is as heavy as "Hey Castrator" or "LucyStoners".

Again, that doesn't make this album bad, but as a fan of the later IG catalog, I don't place Become You among my favorite albums. It has some high points, though. Emily's "You've Got To Show" has some great harmonization, and some comfortable vocal releases not heard since "Watershed" and "Mystery". And Amy's "Bitterroot", the most interesting, and probably best track on the album, is worth the price of the CD all by itself.
