Suspiria - Miranda Sex Garden
Not sold. I don't really know the history but it sounds to me like a good singer who worked hard as hell at Berklee to tackle a dream but there's something about greatness that isn't learned. The earlier a cappella effort reveals the same weaknesses. Inferior to Jarboe and Diamanda Galas. Perhaps on par with Dead Can Dance. Better than Bjork. This album works best at it's most quiet and ethereal. If you can't rock please don't try. If you're not angry don't front. The second to last waltz was a sad low point and My Funny Valentine? Save it for your performance exam. 2/5.
