ROOM #5
Room #5 (2001) careens from full band to hushed acoustic and back to set off what might be Susan's strongest set of songs so far. Ranging from the road-trip fever of "No Guarantee" to the haunting agoraphobia of "I Can't Leave the House", from the hopeful wedding song "Significant" to the Bergman-like marital dissection of "Room #5," beautiful contrasts abound. Moody, ebullient, intelligent, and hooky all over. Plus, Tom Manche finally appears on the cover!
