Heather Havrilesky's review of Meshell Ndegeocello's new album "Devil's Halo" on Salon.com is the kind of review i absolutely hate. It is nothing more than a smattering of cliches pieced together with no outward sign that she comprehends music, criticism, or her audience. Ok, the last one was just to fill out the three. Maybe Miss Havrilesky does know her audience and since I am not a regular Salon.com reader that may not be me. But I have no idea whether I should listen to the album or not. That is a clear fail. That is really all I have to say which may make this review a fail as well.
