I tend to think she has kind of an "omg that is SO ten minutes ago" attitude about everything she makes. Been there, did the tour, sold the T-shirt. Next. Trying to track her stylistic progress in a way that demonstrates consistency will just give you a headache. Actually, that's one of the many reasons I admire her -- she seems very present-oriented and forward-thinking. Each album is put together carefully, with a lot of attention to nuance, each concert is consistent and has its own identity. But they don't necessarily make sense together.
It's like each album or concert is a very well-written chapter. But from different books.
