As we eagerly await the release of What We Saw From The Cheapseats, the new Regina Spektor album, here is the question of the moment: can she sustain the sheer brilliance of "All The Rowboats".
If the rest of the album, dropping May 13th, is as great as the lead off single i am thinking sustained excellence that might make it the album to beat in 2012.
