My Method Actor is a consistently solid album that desperately needs something more. I don’t think there’s a single song here that doesn’t hold up to a fairly high standard. Everything here is good music to a fault and that fault is monotony.
She’s got a good groove in “Call It Love” for instance. She has a stellar voice that she doesn’t overuse and it’s very easy to let the song carry you. The same can be said of the gentleness of “Faith’s Late” or the excellent fuzz of “Like I Say” and “Method Actor” but they all fade very easily into the background. My Method Actor ends up very competent and very listenable but unfortunately also very forgettable.
