As for Edie, her voice is just as present, although it sounds like she's having more fun, especially on "Woyaho". The zenfire observations continue.
As far as this album goes, I think it is much more ambient than her last effort. There is less of the pop songcraft seen in "Circle." This album seems to follow the direction of "The Wheel" more.
"Mama Help Me" was the only single I know of from this album, and it permeated the lower reaches of the rock charts. I think the band was going for something a little bit more exotic and distant with this one, which is reflected in the eerie title. It's a interesting concept, given the controversy over whether animals have souls. It's a argument that you'd never think would happen, but I've been in it.
There is no "What I Am" on this album, but if you'd just as easily want to put a soft, velvet record where the guitars taste like midnight pomegranate juice, this continues the trend that Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars started.
