She certainly not allows herself to tone truly open, and this provides to a feeling that, for all its recognized boldness and huge climaxes, the record never appears unhinged or fragile.
It can occasionally feel even more like a series of handled demolitions than sométhing from the stomach. But as soon as you acknowledge these disadvantages and give yourself over to Calvi's wall structure of movie theater, there are usually plenty of superb times to reduce yourself in.
