Cat Power - your favourite album?

sean [Edit] [Delete] 11:06, 28 August '12

As a big Cat Power fan, today's review on DiS has sort of irked me: http://drownedinsound.com/releases/17200/reviews/4145415 - I agree it's a truly great record tho!

There's a line in it about The Greatest being some sort of perceived creative peak... I realise for me this is especially irksome as Chan's music has always soared above and beyond 99.99% of everything else released in the past decade, so the idea of comparing her with herself, sort of misses this context, but I'm fanboyishly nit-picking..

For me any sort of 'peak' was You Are Free (but then it is my favourite Cat Power lp), for which Sun seems to be a Rhythm & Badu part two... others would say Moon Pix was her 'peak' (and that's my second favourite, if you pushed me to pick and choose)

What's everyone making of Sun? You can stream it over on NPR http://www.npr.org/2012/08/26/159919016/first-listen-cat-power-sun
