I noticed no one really has said what they think of SlipStream. I picked it up and feel after listening its definately her best effort since Silver Lining, but not as mellow. Souls Alike had some high points but for me a lot of the guitar riffs seemed repititive. Slipstream doesn't suffer from this same method. It has a good flow and doesn't repeat itself. The opening track Used to Rule The World is amazing, as are all the slide work on this record. I also think this is her first since she did Luck of The Draw to have a lot of hooks in her songs. Especially Take My Love With You feels like it could have been pulled off that record. The rockers on the record remind me a little of the songs on Green Light aka Split Decision. I like how it feels like you listening to her greatest hits because of how effortlessly she used all of her experiences and sounds together.
