Despite suggesting that I would do so, I have not yet picked up the new Feist disc. I did 'acquire' the Bjork album earlier this week upon its release and three listens in, I'm wondering what the fuss is about. Of both discs, this review opines: Don't Believe the Hype.

Not sure if 'Volta' is as bad as DeRogatis and the folks at Pitchfork, who'd played a part in hyping it, suggest. And it's probably not possible to give a disc a fair assessment after only 2 full days in release. But still, wasn't expecting to be this underwhelmed.

Of course, it's possible I'm just getting nearing artist fatigue. I also downloaded the latest Clientele and Sea and the Cake discs this week, and while they seem to be up to their usual high standards, I can't help but think, I've heard all this before.

What say you on 'The Reminder', Deeman?
