Fill it up again

The new album from the Indigo Girls, All That We Let In, is a wonderful return to their best songwriting and playing. The past few albums have felt like they were trying too hard to go different place musically ("OK, here's the hard rocker", "OK, here's the really weird song", "Notice the banjo here", and so on). This new one is back to the musical attributes of their first four albums, with lots of other influences. "Tether" has Neil Young and REM and a bit of U2 all over it, yet it is still an IG song, and as good of an anthem as "Closer To Fine". "Dairy Queen" could have been the hit from "Nomads, Indians, and Saints". Lots of good stuff here! Posted by lookit at March 1, 2004 01:54 PM
