I picked it up today and really liked it. 'Dull Flame of Desire' is a little TOO long and repetitive though. 'I See Who You Are' and 'Declare Independence' are my favorite upon first listen. I had never heard Antony before this release, and I think his voice will have to grow on me. Right now he's sounding a lot like Nina Simone under water. Pitchfork was right about one thing: this isn't a pop album.
