The cover photographs are so engaging and mysterious, in particular on How Big How Blue How Beautiful. The one for High as Hope has a similar mystique to it as well.
I had the opportunity to listen to a bit of the album today in the car on the way to my dentist appointment, but traffic was dense and stressfull so I wasn't able to appreciate it fully.
Will take a few listens.
I know! I was completely mesmerized by the art as well. She's got a fantastic sense for aesthetics. I wasn't familiar with a few of the songs, and so inevitably it was a long time just going "oh wow, now this one's fantastic" (about every 4 minutes or so xD).
I'll put it on in a bit, too. Despite the mixed feelings of One of the Greats (on a head-level, mostly; musically, it's fantastic), I do think artists are really at their best and happiest when they are creating, so I'm glad she's come back. Hope your dentist's went well :)
