...lush flute on "Kariba" is infectious. And their dance music credentials come to the fore when the album finds its groove, as it does with the deep vocals of "Got to Find a Way." There's a too-much-of-the-sameness in the last few instrumental tracks, which seem indistinguishable, but that's a minor quibble compared to the quality of the rest of the album.

After all, there are no men's studies or men's rights movements that have made a splash in the same way. My only response is that that's a shame. No female singer I have encountered, from Janis Ian to Joni Mitchell to Ani DiFranco, has ever said that being...
