Michelle Shocked - Short Sharp Shocked: 8 (A-)


I'm pretty much boycotting this album, since this artist has made her music so difficult to even sample. The prices people are asking are ridiculous, not surprisingly, since the music is effectively her little secret. But I would definitely give it some fair listens if I ever found a way to do that without paying ridiculous prices used for something sound unheard, especially since I'm not a huge fan of the genre and suspect it would be 7.5 (high B+) and #singersongwriter/folk to me. This is based on Christgau's effective 8.5 (high A-) and Hull's effective 8 (A-) (as far as I can tell). Update (September 2026): Found a copy and gave it a grade, as one can see.
