"Or maybe it's her long history of breaking down on stage, curling up in a fetal position while members of the crowd shout, ''We love you!'' and reach out to stroke her hair. It's hard to blame them; her voice is wrenching. But that type of fandom also feels vaguely condescending."

"(...)the album is a prescient tribute to self-sufficiency."

What the hell?!?

Yeah, it's stupid. Maybe should he check in his dictionnary what is the meaning of "empathy"...

Yeaaaaah! "My goal is to shoot an art film with no dialogue and just release each part of the film with a song or as one chunk."

N'importe quoi...Il est de toi le commentaire sous l'article? Il traduit parfaitement ce que je pense de cet article.

I especially like the last sentence: http://diffuser.fm/cat-power-sun/

Même pas fichus de trouver 1 interlocuteur pour défendre le disque. C'est marrant mais je sens le retour de bâton hype: on va descendre ce qu'on avait jusqu'ici défendu contre les autres...
Si je n'y connaissais rien en musique, je pourrais me laisser avoir mais pas de bol j'écoute pas mal de choses donc ça passe mal.

I's very strange to read so many different point of views about this album. Even among music journalists you'll find people who love the album, who wrote huge praises, and on the other hand you'll find journalists who don't like it at all. A not so stupid guy once said "everything is relative"...

Cette critique issue d'un quotidien genevois (LE TEMPS) m'avait échappée: http://www.letemps.ch/Page/Uuid/65392242-f902-11e1-941e-04a21e7804b4/Cat_Power_sur_une_éclipse_solaire

...encore un qui n'a rien compris...
