    I love it, i have been a fan even with her underground stuff. she has a beautiful talent despite that fact that this CD was a total shock to the Jewel fan population

    Great album! 0304 shows a different side of jewel, a pop side that wasn't seen before the record! "Intuition" and "2 Find U" are the best on teh album and really are great and the other 12 songs are just as good also

    This is an innovative CD, and it isn't strictly dance. I love the more positive lyrics, too.

    This album made her my favourite singer. She took a risk an succeeded! My favourite track is Stand. This inspired me to write poetry. It's no Spirit but It comes extremely close.

    OK, so Jewel has completely changed her image and turned in her folk guitar for modern-day pop mechanics on "0304", but that is not the point. The album is a sheer, unadulterated pleasure to listen to, and how many of her previous albums can that be said about? With only a few small missteps, "0304" is one of the most fresh and exciting albums of 2003.

    I liked the lyrics, because they seem to mean more than regular pop songs, she said this is the kind of album that she has wanted to create for awhile now, and I think it's a good one.

    it's not that bad... but still... quite disappointing as jewel has strayed from her adorable rock-ish country folk singer-songwriter persona... there are great and stupid tracks in this album.. GREAT: INTUITION, STAND, 2 BECOME 1, DOIN FINE, BECOMING. STUPID: AMERICA, U N ME=LOVE

    Sellout move or not, ''0304'''s unexpected dance-pop vibrancy makes it Jewel's best album -- or, for detractors, her least unbearable.

    The 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]

    She has never sounded brighter or more infectious. [Nov 2003, p.117]
