...last less than six or seven minutes, as with the “Love Rain (Suite),” which clocks in at 12 1/2 minutes. Scott’s talent and her connection with her audience are apparent, but the disc remains a little too shrill and insufficiently distinct from her first album to stand up to multiple listens...

Lesley Gore's It's My Party and Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit are sonically distinct and generations removed, but they both used irony (Cobain: "Here we are now/ entertain us") and metaphor (Gore: "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to") to appeal to alienated teens.

It's a throbbing 16-acre region populated by construction workers, itinerant volunteers, movie stars, religious proselytizers, uniformed officers, National Guard members, souvenir hawkers and more tourists than anywhere else in the city.
