This is one great album from the first song to the last. Many songs get skipped when I play full CD's but not on this one. Vanessa is such a talented songwriter, pianist and music composer and only wish more people would go out and buy this album. Vanessa certainly deserves much more commercial success than she's currently experiencing though I know because she's the class act she is that's not what's going to make her happy.
Zay gave it a9:
I, for one, am utterly in love with Heroes & Thieves. Yes, I loved Be Not Nobody. Yes, I loved Harmonium too. However, Heroes is a clear statement saying that the Vanessa we know and love is simply growing up. Her music has more focus, her lyrics are more experienced, and her vocals have definitely improved tenfold. Sure, Harmonium was more varied, but I think this CD is a big step forward nonetheless. Fools Like Me and Nolita Fairytale in particular sound really, really impress. I can't wait for her fourth disc! Keep rockin your stuff, V!
Aaron B. gave it a10:
After the "supposed" failure of Harmonium, I think this is the perfect follow up. I do feel that Harmonium suffered because it was not promoted properly, and I do feel this album is lacking a certain amount of promotion. Lets hope her upcoming tour will send her right back to the top. This is a beautiful album, and she is a wonderful musician.
Allen gave it a10:
Vanessa Carlton is truly an amazing artist inside and out and everywhere else.
Bob V. gave it a10:
I love this album. The songs are so meaning full and the lyrics really hit home.
Kim gave it a10:
There is not one song on the entire album that poses as mediocre. Carlton again crafts a superb album that's just as delightful in it's panic escapades as it is in her story telling.
Peter F. gave it a10:
A consistent release and different from the other releases. While listening to her previous releases I felt that something was missing, but Heroes & Thieves proves that Vanessa Carlton can make a solid album. With a team of solid producers and better vocals, the album is more harmonic than the dark-oriented Harmonium. "The One", a duet with Stevie Nicks, is probably the best track on the album, besides "This Time", the title-track "Heroes & Thieves" and "Hands on Me".
