Improvised @ 3:43 PM 
Collective Improvisation:
How is Identity Crisis ? I've got a couple of here earlier albums, but Love, Shelby (is that the right title? smthg like that) didn't seem all that good and I haven't followed her since. I do like I, Shelby quite a lot, especially "Where I Come From." Is this one worth getting?

I haven't heard her other albums, so I have nothing to compare Identity Crisis with, but I heard her interviewed on the World Cafe (a public radio show that features indie labels and such), and the impression I got was that this album was a bit of a departure for her. (Hence the album's title.)
I like the album, although it's better for shuffling than listening straight through. There are a couple of really fun and hook-filled songs, but there are uneven spots too. (On a couple of songs she uses some backup gospel singers, which I'm a sucker for.) All in all, worth getting.
But before you buy that, make sure you go out and buy Andrew Bird and the Mysterious Production of Eggs. I got it over the weekend and it's one of the best albums I've heard in a while. It's impossible to describe (cross between Beck, neo-swing, and Belle & Sebastian?) but I think you won't be disappointed.
Great lyrics, too. Like "Tables and Chairs": "I know we're gonna meet someday in the crumbled financial institutions of this land / there will be tables and chairs / pony rides and dancing bears / there'll even be a band / 'cause listen after the fall there'll be no more countries / no currencies at all / we're gonna live on our wits / throw away survival kits / trade butterfly knives for adderal / and that's not all / woah! / there will be snacks, there will / there will be snacks!!"
Just reading those doesn't do the song justice: trust me.
