 Nerina Pallot's new album

Fantastic album and well worth getting, I'd sum her up as a modern day Suzanne Vega with a bit more zing, not that I am a very qualified popular music buff or anything. Worth getting though.

Quite surprised by the advertising for the album though. The tagline at the bottom is a quote from the Sunday Times which describes the main track "Everybody's going to war." as "A record of optimism and hope." which leads me to wonder whether or not they actually listened to any of the lyrics...

I found the song as a the cry of a melancholy, disheartened generation voicing their damning critique of the Blair/Bush "War on Terror". Can't quote the lyrics obviously, but check it out and see what you think. It's a great album and the "War" song is brilliant.
