Got these two the other day:

Not everyone's cup of tea I imagine, but I'm loving both so far.

Been listening to Electric Lady a lot over the last few months, and I now honestly think it is superior to ArchAndroid.

ArchAndroid had that stellar and inventive opening suite II, but I never really rated suite III. I think Electric Lady is a fuller, more complete and more focused experience.

hmmm i should give it more spins
it didn't amaze me like AA did.. but then again i have not played it as much as that album.
the production is more slick on EL.. that sorta put me of a bit.. not that AA was raw and lo-fi or anything

Yeah I had to play it for a while to allow it to sink in fully, and I became addicted. Its hard to listen to it the first couple times and not compare it to some of the audacious brilliance we all encountered on AA.

They are both amazing, but I can play EL from start to finish a lot easier. It is a lot more sure of itself and has much stronger song writing. Sure, musically it can be more classical, but I like to think of this as her Stevie Wonder-ish album. It's so good.

Seriously, listen to this for a while, then go back and try and listen to AA in full. Still some absolutely amazing songs and experiments, but it isn't as luminous as it once was. Its skittery in comparison. EL is superior as an album.
