Album review - Regina Spektor - Far

Ok another album review for you. This time Regina Spektor's new album far. I would say this is one of her best albums yet and she is back with her heart felt and deep lyrics that we all know and love. Her vocal range is also showcased nicely in such songs as "eet" that's the sound she makes in the first single off the album. Like I said before her lyrical genius is shown again. I will share some of my favourties with you

You use your headphones to drown out your mind -eet
Blue lips, blue veins, blur the colour of our planet from far far away- from blue lips
No one laughs at god in a hospital no laughs at god in a war - laughing with (whole song is like this, but it isn't preachy that's why I like it)

Also makes you wonder the meanings of each song for example machines sounds like her anti piracy song to me but that is open to opinion like I said laughing with is her song about religion and how when bad things happen people curse god even if they don't believe

The album again is also ranged from the mellow to the upbeat each showcasing her amazing vocal range and random sounds she makes such as the song dance anthem of the 80's which has similar singing to that of my favourite song of hers "that time"

In conclusion really is a good album showing us what she is really capable of and a great follow up to begin to hope. I swear she just keeps getting better
