She further described the process of making the album as "probably the most fun I’ve had making a record".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Joanna Newsom Interview )〕 Entertainment Weekly also reported Newsom "as using an arsenal of nearly a dozen keyboards and synths including clavichords, mellotrons and Marxophones" for the album while members of the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra feature as players on the album.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Press Release )〕 ==Critical reception== ''Divers'' received critical acclaim from all music critics, achieving an aggregate score of 88 on Metacritic based upon thirty-three reviews.〔http://www.metacritic.com/music/divers/joanna-newsom〕 It receives a similarly high score of 8.6 on AnyDecentMusic?, with the collated scores of thirty-five reviews.〔http://www.anydecentmusic.com/review/7587/Joanna-Newsom-Divers.aspx〕 Critics praised the complexity of Newsom's lyrics and arrangements, while noting that the record is more accessible and compact than previous releases.
