Yeah, I hear a world of difference between any of her earlier albums and, say, what came after 2000. I think Stories from the city, Stories from the sea was a massive departure for her.
Looking back, the more dynamically "rockist" early albums sound like a different performer entirely. Rid of Me especially sounds almost like Slint or In Utero compared to the more musically layered and textured albums she's been making for so long now.
Shrug.
