    I love Rufus' voice and style, but this album is like having to do homework in high school. I wish he would go back to his "Poses" and "Release the Stars" vibe... This is too artsy-fartsy.

    Whether in the flesh or behind-the-scenes, each work is all Wainwright. [No. 131, p.61]

    Wainwright keeps things varied enough to be interesting but concise enough to avoid boredom or overload.

    The mix of genres and presentation doesn’t always segue as well as they might, and strangely given that mix, it could do with being a little more radical at times. That said there’s plenty to enjoy and it’s often fun to hear these iconic works in unfamiliar fashion.
