This felt very flat and generic in a lot of places, both vocally and instrumentally. She has a pretty voice but the singing felt monochromatic and all too samey. There must be some sort of music theory explanation that I can't formulate, but the harmonies feel generic and samey - it is like I have heard these chords before to a point where I wondered if some of these were covers, and the record hardly ever offers harmonic spice. The upside to all this is that when the record does give the slightest hint of an explosion or colour, it is exacerbated and makes the song feel instantly better. The emotional, guitar based tracks like 1 feel particularly dull and meh. 2 is more upbeat and kinda fun. 3 bores like in the verse but offers cool explosions where the vox finally feel like they work well. 4 with its more electronic instrumentation works better and feels less flat, but 5 is really meh despite nice-ish vox and synths, because of a piano melody that just feels extremely basic. 6 is more upbeat and one of the best tracks, but I could swear I have heard some of the melodies before and I thought it may be a cover of some kind. By 7 the album already feels long because of the overall lack of variety, but at least 8 makes the emotional style work and ends on a cool explosion. 9 is also alright thanks to the more 'aggressive' (read: not backgroundey) drums and guitars. 10 bores again at first, but the reverberated modulated guitars starting up around 1:20 are nice and then it sort of explodes so it's not too bad. Still a very bland record overall. 2.9

Despite a lack of variation in sound from track to track, Siggelkow's angelic voice saves the day. While there may not be a lot of boundary-pushing going on, the lilting vocal caresses entwining each track still make Born Again a rewarding listen. Perhaps she could have been a bit more emotive or separated more from her artistic influences, but Siggelkow's talent is on display and I have hopes she claims more of her own space on her next release.
