Ruan Human gave it an8:
This album is generally crafty electro-pop, showcasing Roisin's talent both lyrically & musically. Standout tracks include 'Let Me Know', 'Overpowered, 'Cry Baby' & 'Movie Star'.
Clif C. gave it an8:
Very good album! Great production , and some of the songs have the best beats of 2007 (like "Cry Baby"). She wants to innovate, and she does, but there are moment where she has to be more simple, she gets herself confused and makes us feel confused. But I admire for how she changed her music universe, beginning her solo career with a Nu Jazz/Electronic album, "Ruby Blue" (that was really great too); to an Electronic/Electro-pop/Dance/Pop album.
Marvin O. gave it an8:
A really good pop gem. I liked Ruby Blue better but this album is almost as good even if it runs on a slightly different line. Why is Roisin Murphy still not a superstar?
Eric gave it a9:
Fantastic!
Evan S gave it an8:
To appreciate her music is to watch her videos. Let Me Know is an example of simple concept with a fun, pure hook. I'm just now digging into the album and so far it's a standout.
Simon gave it a9:
Roisin Murphy shows her essential contribution to the sound of modern music. Filled with inventive lyrics and music, Overpowered is an highly satisfying piece of work. Perhaps less interesting than Ruby Blue, but definitely amusing, entertaining and colorful, it reminds us how Moloko was driven by a potent creator. Refreshing !
David C gave it a9:
Gorgeously Sexy and a fantastic singer to boot. A highly varied album but with 7 or 8 top notch tracks, takes me back to when dance music was fresh in the mid 90's.
