In all, Dreaming Of Revenge has a few unremarkable tracks but is a solid album that Kaki King's fans and other music lovers should enjoy. It's not Kaki King's best, as she has some growth to do lyrically ("2 O'Clock" aside). But King branched out into the indie pop world for a few songs, achieved mostly good results, and didn't abandon her past all that much in the process. She deserves credit for doing this instead of being repetitive and recreating her older records. As to those who may not or do not like the idea of Kaki King going into a poppier direction, may I ask you: Does it really matter if the songs have pop appeal or if they are just plain good? If you think the latter, you'll likely dig this album.
