PlanningtorockHad a brief but intense flirtation last week with the 2011 album 'W' by the artist Janine Rostron otherwise know as Planningtorock, when for a few days she captivated me with mangled gender obscured vocals and her makeshift facial prosthetic's!
Initially I thought I'd missed a great album that had completely flown under my radar, this despite an amusing review bashing it hard online from critic Anthony Fantano whose opinion I greatly respect, but I remained sure it would've likely been on my 'best of' from last year. However, a strange thing happened after I'd played the album several times, surprisingly the whole transpired to become far less than the sum of its parts.
Frustratingly many of the tracks really work for me in isolation, but as an album experience it no longer hang's for me, pity...
