Sellout move or not, ''0304'''s unexpected dance-pop vibrancy makes it Jewel's best album -- or, for detractors, her least unbearable.
-
UncutThe tunes are stunning, her voice has never sounded better and she makes serious points few others would dare in a pop context. [Oct 2003, p.114]
-
Q MagazineShe has never sounded brighter or more infectious. [Nov 2003, p.117]
-
Aside from the razor-thin, plastic-sounding tunes, it's hard to determine what's more disturbing, her acid-hued cover photo or the Prince-y song titles like "Run 2 U," "2 Become 1" and "U & Me = Love."
-
It's the first album of hers that's a sheer pleasure to hear.
-
Essentially a wanna-be version of Madonna's American Life.
-
But overall as much as the listener should be prepared to hate this record and its pretensions towards anticipating pop trends, it isnt necessarily a failure.
-
BlenderThe first third of 0304 tries too hard to impress.... But soon she calms down and knocks out undeniable hooks. [#17, p.142]
-
MojoBeats click and rumble while Jewel simpers baby-doll vocals which sound deflatingly calculated. [Oct 2003, p.114]
