http://0rz.net/c01Gr No paparazzi lens could snap a more revealing picture than the one DiFranco willingly offers with each annual studio album (16 in as many years). With the unforced intimacy that has won her legions of fans, "Reprieve" tackles the usual DiFranco topics: the ugliness of love, the improprieties of the ruling class, the polarity of womanhood and an ever-shifting view of self. It might sound heady, but she's got the gift of lyrical precision— nothing cuts to the core quite like the resolution of a DiFranco rhyme. Musically, the album is more languid than earlier efforts without sacrificing the urgency of her patented guitar pluck-strum. And "Half-Assed," a mature woman's plea for an evasive moment of truth, is one of her most fully realized songs to date. —Kerri Mason -- 美中不足的是，抬望眼，总看见园中西隅， 剩下的那两棵义大利柏树中间，露出一块楞楞的空白来， 缺口当中，映着湛湛青空，悠悠白云， 那是一道女娲炼石也无法弥补的天裂。 －－白先勇《树犹如此》 --
