 Ani diFranco - educated guess - Righteous Babe Records - CD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
“Educated Guess” musically is as beautiful as a Coldplay melody, using her life as a basis and poetically creating a needle stitch of observations, merging them with a delicate sound that is capable of raising the hairs on your arms.
The strum of the guitar/bass can be abrasive at time becoming a wall of noise that her vocals have to climb over with the buzz threatening to tear the delicate cones of your speakers.
Educated Guess is for the fan of thought provocative music of which Ani diFranco is the dispenser of.

 Ani DiFranco: Educated Guess (2004): Reviews
Educated Guess is an absolutely stunning creation, although it did take a few listens for me to begin to fully appreciate what I was hearing.
While Educated Guess may not be her best album to date (a near impossible-to-achieve expectation for an artist 21 albums in), it marks yet another transformation of her talents.
I heard "swim" and "educated guess" live first-- it was quite a shock to hear them so jarringly dissonant on the album after they soar so gorgeously on the live versions.

 Ani Difranco: Educated Guess - PopMatters Music Review
Impossible to replicate, immune to commercialization, she is one of the most prolific and innovative artists who has managed to fearlessly resist the urge to find a niche and stagnate in it.
Educated Guess explores new musical territory that is challenging enough to engage even the most folk-averse listeners while it maintains a unity of tone which yields a highly listenable work.
While much of the material on Educated Guess continues in the direction of her more recent albums, overlaying the idea of the folk song with increasingly complex harmonies and structures, there are a few notable innovations.

 Ani DiFranco: Educated Guess - review
And at least for this time this means "really solo": in fact, not only she sang and played everything on the album, she also recorded and mixed it on a vintage reel-to-reel eight track tape recorder.
Well, I guess people will talk of her "going back to her roots", but I respectfully disagree: if this is (obviously) true in terms of sheer numbers, it isn't when the aesthetical dimension is taken into consideration.
Educated Guess surely proves not to be lacking in the variety dept., starting with tracks such as the uptempo Bliss Like This and the beautiful soul ballad Rain Check, where it's easy to imagine where the group would have made its entrance.

 Ani DiFranco - Educated Guess
This is a real "back to basics" for the woman who proclaimed on her last tour she was "just a folk singer".
The sound of Educated Guess, therefore, couldn't be more different to that of the jazzy, increasingly complex soundscapes of Evolve or Reckoning/Revelling.
Educated Guess is no different, and while its raw, fractured sound won't be to everyone's taste, the faithful can rest assured that it is yet another example of the woman's genius.

 Educated Guess: Ani DiFranco Irish & Celtic Music at An Irish Christmas.com
In form, this is the disc DiFranco fans have wanted for years: a return to her naked roots of words and guitar, entirely played, sung, and taped to eight-track by Ani herself.
I guess people don't take kindly to thier favorite feminist icon using an album to expose her soft underbelly and show that even a "righteous babe" can have heartache.
Though I gave a good review to "Evolve" as well, it often lacks the subtly, grace and raw honestly that is ever present in "Educated Guess".

I had a hard time believing that person who wondered where Ani's career would be in 50 years (I guess that would put her in her mid-80's then), and then compared her to Bob Dylan, and Joni Mitchell.
The tone of "Educated Guess" is definitely downbeat, in a stream of songs where even the happier songs have a vaguely empty feeling.
But "Educated Guess" is moody and lacking in substance.

 Ani DiFranco, "Educated Guess"
While Educated Guess may not be the best record in Ani's oeuvre, this just proves further the fact that some artists don't have to bring more fireworks to the party each time, some artists can just be themselves and that's all we need.
Most of the songs on Educated Guess see Ani layering her voice into main and background vocals, but there are also a lot of smaller things going on that are worth listening closely for.
Ani’s guitar playing is something that usually finds mention in one line or gets passed over completely in favor of talk about her politics or persona, but make no mistake, she is a remarkable guitar player.

 An Educated Guess
Alan, (by my reading, anyway) does a good job of extablishing the fact that we are stunningly ignorant about a large number of questions that are very critical to the fundamental claims made by both "sides" of the so-called "Math Wars".
What I would like to do is make a guess, a perhaps educated one, as to what some of the answers to these questions might look like if we ever get around to actually figuring them out.
In mathematics, some of the most important work that has been done is in response to conjectures (one may argue that all of mathematics is the making and testing of conjectures, but then one would have quite an argument on one's hands).

 FAME Review: Ani DiFranco - Educated Guess
Her first solo disc in a decade, Educated Guess is no exception.
A challenger and alchemist at heart, Educated Guess for the most part, finds our rebellious heroine giving into her penchant for spastic rhythm changes at the expense of melody and rhythmic flow of the past.
I've also mentioned that perhaps a producer, and not a yes man/yes woman is what both need to carve the best out of their brilliant charges and save the rest for the inevitable official bootleg series.

 Plan 9 - Ani DiFranco : Educated Guess   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
With her storied shunning of major labels and the cultivation of her own record label, Righteous Babe, in beleaguered hometown Buffalo, New York, indie-folkster Ani DiFranco hasn't had to cultivate any image as the ultimate in DIY, she just emanates the essence of everything that acronym embodies.
To declare, however, that her 13th studio album, EDUCATED GUESS, is her most do-it-yourself record since her beginnings is saying something.
And EDUCATED GUESS is just that, as Ani sang and played every note directly onto an 8-track recorder.

 C - Cushing's Disease
Treatment of Cushing's disease caused by pituitary tumors is symptomatic therapy -- it does not cure the pituitary tumor.
The average lifespan of dogs diagnosed with Cushing's, with or without treatment is estimated at 2 years by Dr. Mark Peterson, but in a recent conversation with another endocrinologist I came away with the impression that this was an "educated guess" rather than the result of extensive survey of Cushing's patients.
At present, though, I think that treatment should be viewed as a means of providing a better quality lifestyle rather than as a method of extending longevity.

 "Educated Guess," Ani DiFranco   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
And while the cycle of hype and no hype repeats itself, Ani keeps on taping acrylic nails to her fingers, touring the world with her guitar, and writing new songs to record for us whenever she stops long enough to do so.
From a musical ark that has had her collaborating with Prince and Maceo Parker, and playing with a five-piece band, Ani’s newest release, Educated Guess, takes us back to the beginning, when it was just a singer and her guitar.
In this era of the jiggy, the bling, and the overproduced, Educated Guess is a refreshing reminder that not all musicians do it for the money.

 JS Online: CD review: Ani DiFranco's 'Educated Guess'
For her new record "Educated Guess," she wrote all the lyrics, played all the instruments, recorded the music herself and released it on her own label.
No one else, for example, to shape the sound sketches on "Educated Guess" into quality songs with memorable melodies.
DiFranco is still deep into her groovy second-act, which has abandoned biting folk-punk for quasi-jazz, and which has delivered one very good double-album (2001's "Reveling/Reckoning") and several other records like "Guess" that are, by her standards, average.

Not only did she play all the instruments here, she also did the recording and mixing.
As marginally novel as this may be in the indie world, however, in DiFranco's case her complete command over the album carries particularly notable effects.
Primarily, Educated Guess can be differentiated from previous releases by its extensive use of vocal layering.

 RollingStone.com: Educated Guess : Ani DiFranco : Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
There are several things ani DiFranco does well: She's determinedly independent, she has a wholly appropriate streak of righteous indignation, and she's got a ripping voice, able to give depth to even the most awkward, improbable lyrics.
"I know men are delicate origami creatures/Who need women to unfold them," she sings on "Origami." On Educated Guess, which DiFranco wrote, produced, recorded and mixed entirely on her own, this awkward, improbable tendency goes unchecked, as does DiFranco's penchant for jarring arrangements ("Swim," "You Each Time").
When she's not trying so hard, she shines, as on the jazzy "Bliss Like This" and "Bodily," as stark a song as DiFranco has written.

For our sunflower experiment, we hypothesize that "The more acidic the water that sunflowers drink, the less they will grow." We reason that since pollution makes people and animals sick, we expect pollution such as acidity in the sunflowers' drinking water will make them sick too.
