The The First Album
Not So Soft
Imperfectly
Like I Said
Puddle Dive
Out Of Range
This one ranks up here with the best. The in depth exploration of love and life and how they entertwine makes this an exceptional creation.Not A Pretty Girl
All Ani fans know of Not A Pretty Girl. It is truly the prfect mix of ballads, feminism, social awareness, and rebelion.Dilate
We definitly see an evolution of Ani's sound here; a very refreshing evolution, in my opinion. Whenever I want a change of pace, I pop this one in my CD player. I have heard that when it first came out people were a bit surprised because it didn't hold any of that socially outrageous stuff that Ani's other albums have, but I believe Dilate is outrageous enough in its own right. It deals with relationships in a way I have never seen before.Living In Clip
This album is just phenomenal. When I listen to it, I feel like I really am at a concert with Ani. I love all the comments between the songs. Ani seems very friendly and down to earth with her fans, and don't we all love to hear her laugh? I think the highlight of this album, however, is the amazing version of "Both Hands." It's really incredible.Little Plastic Castle
There is just a certain moood here that I love. It's so varied, with upbeat tracks, like, "Deep Dish" and "As Is," And just the right amount of ballads, like "Pulse" and "Independence Day." My favorite song, however, has to be "Fuel." My friend Steph and I know every verse by heart!Up Up Up Up Up Up
I must say that I miss the "old" Ani!!! It's not that this CD isn't good, but it seems as if Ani has lost her "angry edge." I'm glad that Ani seems more content with herself, because we all need to feel that way, but it's that road to self discovery, and rebellion that I fell in love with. Still a good listen, it's just not the same.To The Teeth
"To The Teeth" is different, but the more I listen to it, the more I love it. The ballads are what get me here. "Soft Shoulder" and "Cloud Blood" rock my world.Revelling/Reckoning
This album affirms my complete and total admiration of this woman. She has grown so much in eleven years, it's incredible. There is something for every Ani fan here. My words will not do this album justice. Just listen to it!Render
Yes! Audio and visiual stimulation here! I just love it. We are able to see Ani in every domain, on stage of course, at work, and at play. It's just amazing, like being in the front row at one of her concerts and then some!So Much Shouting, So Much Laughter
Well, not as good as Living In Clip, I don't think, but I still don't regret trudging out in the rain to get this one. I love all three new songs: "Shrug" "Welcome To:" and of course "Self-Evident." I think the best rendition of an old song would be "You Had Time." I wish there was more though, and we could bhave heard some renditions of some other songs, besides the ones that also appeared on "Living In Clip. Still a good album though, of course. How could it not be?
