    The Album is purely amazing!! So many different elements of pop, indie rock, dark pop, alternative rock and alternative are all incorporated into this album. As ever, Amanda plays the piano effortlessly and Jherek Bischoff's arrangement in Trout Heart Replica is heart wrenching and gives a derelict and schizophrenic feel to the song. Basically, this album is unforgettable and unique
