3 stars Theatrical Prog Cabaret of the bluesy-sultry raven form.

1. "Start with the Corners" (2:45) (8.25/10) 2. "Donovan Ellington" (5:39) sunny, silly story. (8.5/10) 3. "Donny, Pt. Two" (3:39) (8.5/10) 4. "The War" (0:54) I gotta admit, she's entertaining! (4.5/5) 5. "Duet" (7:25) Rosalie's vamp version of "Monkberry Delight"? Definintely some "look at me" story-telling. (13.25/15) 6. "Tristitia Amnesia" (7:08) very unusual theatric song. (12/15) 7. "Scared of the Dark" (3:35) Rosalie's QUEEN "Killer Queen" tribute (8/10) 8. "God Is a Verb" (1:34) the music is just a vehicle for Rosalie's clever lyrics. (4.25/5) 9. "Suck Push Bang Blow" (5:09) This is the Rosalie I remember: raunchie blues-rock á la Alannah Miles "Black Velvet." (8/10) 10. "The Liner Notes" (6:34) Rosalie's rip off of VAN MORRISON's "Moondance." (/10) 11. Number 149 (4:09) * 12. Fossil Song (4:43) *

Total Time 53:14

* bonus tracks (not on LP)

I admit that the songs are cleverly constructed, the theatric vocal performances riveting and cleverly written, I just don't like blues-rock! And I don't like such blatant rip offs of other people's hits.

B-/3.5 stars; rated down for not really feeling like prog and too much "borrowing".
