"On Before the Poison, Faithfull’s voice is guided by a number of mediums: PJ Harvey, Nick Cave, Damon Albarn, and Jon Brion. Although collaborative albums often seem unfocused, Faithfull takes control of the proceedings and makes Before the Poison a powerful, cohesive artistic statement on loss and survival. It takes stories of tragedy and misery and presents them with just enough beauty to allow us to accept them."__https://www.popmatters.com/faithfulmarianne-before2005-2495902292.htmlhttps://archive.ph/35jSU
