UncutIt excels at that classic pop trick of combining the euphoric with the melancholy. [Apr 2005, p.108]
-
Perfect pop bliss.
-
As cunning as it is, Anniemal is also deeply affecting.
-
As much as the album may be a breath of fresh air, it still resembles what the Britney’s on our side of the Atlantic are putting out, closer than many would like to admit.

The New York TimesAnnie has a breathy wisp of a voice, and her vocal range is limited; but there is charm in her deadpan delivery, and her songwriting is full of the flair for melody for which Scandinavian pop is famous. [2 May 2005]
-
What makes Anniemal such a strong pop effort is its refusal to drop its high standards for production, melody, and hooks.
-
Anniemal is pleasant enough to listen to; when I played it in my car while I was stuck in traffic, it helped take the edge off. It reminded me of music heard in malls, peppy and buoying, but not so compelling as to distract you from the clothes.
