I was first introduced to her about a year ago, and quickly became a fan. I enjoy Enchant, but I'm a HUGE fan of Opheliac. My favorite songs are probably "Shalott," "Gothic Lolita," and "Dead Is The New Alive." Hard to choose, though; I love the entire album.
I think the unique blend of genres, the clever, dark, and sometimes humorous lyrics, and the fact that she is willing to put some VERY personal feelings into her music (which I know from experience as a writer is very hard to do, but gives the work real emotional resonance when done right) are the main things I love about her work.

I think I know what you're all trying to say: we need to build a space helicopter!I like Opheliac a lot. I've heard a few of her other recordings, but I don't have a copy of them.

"Opheliac" and "Gothic Lolita" are awesome, but I've seen them be off-putting to first-time listeners (especially "Opheliac"). Something like "Shalott" or "Juliet" may help ease the transition. But if you're adventurous, just dive right in!
I think I know what you're all trying to say: we need to build a space helicopter!Would this qualify as "weird" enough?
Anyway, I listened to "Gothic Lolita" and "Opheliac", and ([[Nightmare Fuel aside from the lyrics) they both sounded a little too pop-ish for my taste. Does she have anything a little... denser?
You can't even write racist abuse in excrement on somebody's car without the politically correct brigade jumping down your throat!I quite like her music, especially Opheliac.
"Thank God I'm Pretty" is one of my favourite songs. "Shallot" is also great.
"I can't imagine what Hell will have in store, but I know when I'm there, I won't wander anymore."Opheliac is one of those rare albums that gets filed under "Perfect". EA herself is pretty awesome too.

So, how was the concert Mark?
Also, put me down as an EA fan now. After receiving a recommendation on this site last year and scouring local music stores (I don't do anything involving money online) until finally finding Opheliac at FYE early last month, I can honestly say it was actually worth the long wait to hear her.
The whole CD (actually, both of them since it was the Deluxe 2-disc Edition) is awesome, but my favorite songs are "Liar", "Misery Loves Company", "Swallow" and "I Want My Innocence Back".
Jesus saves. Gretzky steals, he scores!

I'm a big fan of hers. First heard the song Marry Me last March when someone posted a link to a youtbue vid with it on some other forum, and was hooked instantly. Hell, Opheliac is in my list of Most Favorite Albums alongside such favorites as With Oden on Our Side(arguably my favorite album), Number of the Beast, Peace Sells...But Who's Buying and Paranoid.
Gonna go to a concert of hers in Oct, for which I'm totally excited for.
