Listening Post: Ani DiFranco – Educated Guess

Ani DiFranco – Educated Guess – 2004 – (iTunesAmazon)

If I had to make an educated guess I would say that with the exception of putting a gun to Ms. Difranco’s head, she wouldn’t remember any of these “songs”.
These are meanderings.
When Springsteen holed up with a 4 track he came out with the disturbing and penetrating “Nebraska”. 3 years after 9/11 and Ani Difranco is still noodling around with her poetry book. And no real ideas. No real songs.
This album is bad.
I think the people that are buying it and making it Number One on the Billboard Internet albums all did so out of habit. Out of Habit. Remember songs like that, Ani? Remember??
