Now here's a reeeally long post (and in-depth, I hope).
In all honesty, I'd have to say that Harmonium is absolutely V's best work yet. EVERY song seems to be so emotion-filled and true (not to imply that her other work isn't). But aside from the darkness of Harmonium, it really is more captivating and has the ability to run chills up your spine.
H&T on the other hand is a different type of amazing. It's definitely a type of summery album. I kinda think that the album should have been released earlier this year, if all work was completed at that time. It's not the type of album I want to listen when it's really chilly and dark outside. (So I tend to categorize my music by season... call me crazy :razz: ) Nevertheless, the songs are INCREDIBLE, and to be fair, it can't be compared to "Harmonium." They're both great albums (major understatement). But the styles are kinda diverse and you can't fairly compare them. They're simply two incredible albums independently, and feature music of the HIGHEST quality.
"Be Not Nobody" on the other hand is distinguishingly different from the following two. Good for a debut album, but like many of you, I prefer her later work. It is however, a good album to show growth and how Vanessa's developed as an artist. It's exceptional work, although I don't find myself listening to it as much.
