It's probably better yeah but i wouldn't call it 'far superior' tbh, this is pretty excellent too. First 4 songs and Car on a Hill are class tunes.

She's almost as good as Lorde from what I hear.

Nah, but she's often said she preferred her later albums, that they were more mature

When she played this album to bob Dylan before the release he pretended to be put to sleep by it while the other men in the room talked only about his new release (planet waves I think), she said that in an interview I forget which

There was some talk of Unravel being the best song ever in the Homogenic thread. Then I realised that Joni Mitchell wrote The Same Situation. Such a brilliant song lyrically, musically, atmospherically...

The first five songs on this album are flawless. People’s parties into same situation especially

Ladies of the Canyon is definitely underrated...being sandwiched between Clouds (my favorite from this early period) and Blue.

I never find myself wanting to revisit this one...and Hejira reings supreme...but no one asked me.

Hejira has like three of the best songs ever written (Hejira, Amelia and Song for Sharon) and the rest I'm kind of indifferent to. Never really managed to get into the first three albums however. I may need to have another crack at them.
