Each of her albums have a central theme where the songs and videos are built around, using images, soundscapes and lyrics to invoke certain territories within the collective unconscious. But in the end, it's a myth and not everyone will be swept in the sentimental awe of it all.

Political change is tedious, involves a lot of calm dialogue, patience and lack of angry motivation.
The pop tracks are much better. Flyte Time is known for. The incredibly lush sound of all these tracks makes for an audio-myth that this reviewer can finally lose himself into. The entire album sounds good, but the quasi-political myth probably won't work for those who don't share Jackson's rather austere vision. But it's got a great, great beat.
