Enjoy the simple vocal and piano approach and in general Kristen Hayter has a voice that commands your attention and one that just sounds good in the context of a piano + vocals album. The production and degraded sounds the album takes on is also cool but in the end there is a lot of talk about the blood of Jesus and it gets a bit repetitive until the excellent 'HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING' finishes things off hauntingly.

This might be better than all of Lingua Ignota. I love Sinner Get Ready and Caligula, but the somewhat hopeful undertones of this project take it to another place. It was a transcendental experience to process grief and trauma. The end of Lingua brings a new beginning for Kristen Hayter. I am so excited to see what comes next.

The Artist Formerly Known as Lingua Ignota changes the environment surrounding her over-the-top vocal performance, and it's not for the best: these vocals worked when clashed on top of bombastic industrial, but here they do not benefit from any atmospheric engagement. Also the random vinyl scratches just to warrant the "tape music" accolade are quickly growing old. It's an interesting release, just one that does not entirely delivers what its proposition hinted at.

| 3.5 great | ajcollins15 | October 25th 23 |
The newest album for Kristin sees her continue on the path of her last album ?Sinner Get Ready? (under her established Lingua Ignota pseudonym) with its harrowingly dark and experimental style of gospel and hymn music. Much of ?SAVED!? is laced with heavy catholic imagery, but with a continued dark undertone to make your religious friends question themselves. With that being said ?SAVED!? feels like a significantly weaker record than ?Sinner Get Ready?, many of the tracks don?t really go far enough with their style. Kristin seems to want to keep the experimental vibe with the various tracks using warped tape recordings or broken instruments. However, I just wish most of the tracks would take that even further and do more of what ?Sinner Get Ready? did. Still, it?s an expansive listen from front to back and you should definitely give it a listen for something a bit different.
