In your rather favorable review, your sort of glossed over some of the more challenging lyrics from Mitchell. Specifically, in the song "Shine" this lyric struck me:

"Shine on the Catholic Church
And the prisons that it owns
Shine on all the Churches
that love less and less"

Any reason to skip this one? I am not a fan of religious bigotry, couldn't you give your New York Sun readers a heads up that if they want to avoid buying such spite, they may want to avoid this album? If a reviewer sees fit to polish over the crude parts of recording, what is the point of doing the review? Why not just promote a wide variety of different religious bigotry, and call it the work of a "Muse"?
