JackFeb 16, 2008Rename: "Whinehouse" because that's pretty much all she does; whining.

MichaelV.Feb 5, 2008Such a great and husky voice that brings me back to the old days, even though I am not old. Great lyrics as well!

ShazzyK.Jan 22, 2009The users ratings here are just testament to the fact that where music is concerned you gotta make your own decision. Loved NOT just the voice but songs as well.

AlexWOct 14, 2007Definitely not as good as her debut, but the better songs on there can still hold their own. Hope the girl gets better so she can work on her third album!

MarkDOct 21, 2007Go to rehab. Don't go to rehab. I don't give one. I just wish i could go a day without hearing your whiney voice on the radio or your stupid horsey face in the papers, ya big weirdo!!!

StevebC.Dec 26, 2007I bought this album because I liked the song "rehab". After listening to the whole album a couple of times, I got hooked and realized she's a great artist.

TashaEDec 8, 2007Love Love Love her. Gets better with every listen. She is one of a kind.

EvanMar 12, 2007She's bringing all the Motown feeling back in her own way, she is dealing with many different sounds and she's always a winner. Listen to her first album Frank

NathanLMar 12, 2007This CD is so good! Amy Winehouse has such a distinctive voice, and sound. It's so nice to finally hear something this fresh & new!

LukeMMar 12, 2007Unholy War is the only weak track...everything else is amazing. Best album of 2006.

kat.Mar 13, 2007actually, it's all rather boring... :P

aprildMar 13, 2007This is the best album I've heard since Fiona Apple's "Tidal," which is saying a lot. Winehouse is an original in a room filled with copycat blonde babes who have nothing better to sing about than how hot they are. I can guarantee you won't ever be hearing "Winehouse-licious." She actually has something to say... and I love every word.

RSkellyMar 13, 2007its musically outstanding and emotionally poignant because its so honest and autobiographical. i'm a convert.

TimothyFMar 14, 2007Production is wonderful; her voice is divine; wish the songwriting were crisper, though.

mattMar 14, 2007This album should make her too cool for metacritic in the states.

TRMar 14, 2007great voice....great album

drewpMar 14, 2007One of the best US releases of the year! A cohesive album of great vocals, cracker-jack production, and lyrics which keep it all from veering into retro re-tread territory. How a white British woman with the name of "Amy Winehouse" came to sound like the love-child of Etta James and Lauryn Hill is beyond me, but the results are hard to argue with.

RichMar 14, 2007So good it hurts....her, me, and anyone with a heart who knows how to listen. She makes pain sound like velvet, no mean trick. I love this CD.
-
-
MattD.Mar 16, 2007She has a good voice (the ruggedness of Billie Holiday combined with the soul of LaKisha from American Idol,) but unfortunately, the arrangements too often sound uninspired. The single "Rehab" is an exception. A good CD, but she deserves better.

MaryBMar 26, 2007I get lost in her voice.

CameronSApr 23, 2007Smooth, sassy, and, catchy, and unique. Pretty good.

JONRMay 15, 2007This album is perfect. Amy writes about pain, yet manages to capture an uplifting element among it. This is one of the best album in the past 10 years. This is a classic sure to be in my listening collection in my 60's.

BlakeLMay 16, 2007The most overated album of the year!
-
-
AndrewBMay 26, 2007How anyone with a computer can buy an album and give it a 0 is completely beyond me. Listen morons, don't buy an album until you've heard a song or two. Buying an album and giving it a 0 is more a reflection on your unwise spending than it is on the quality of the album.

BreL.Jun 14, 2007She has a pretty nice voice, but she lacks something. Sure, she's different, but different doesn't equal an automatic "wow that rulz".
-
-
JamesKSep 12, 2007Without a doubt, one of the best pop albums in years if not one of the best albums released this decade. The honesty, pain, heartbreak, and emotion as expressed not only by Amy's lyrics, but also through her voice are undeniable, which makes this record simply exceptional. A stellar achievement and a career high few artists will ever reach. Instant classic.

PedroP.Dec 21, 2008Best artist of the century, she has the most beautiful voice ever, and she ain't another pretty face like someone (Mariah Carey, Rihanna, Beyonce...) she's is god! enough said!

ipsed.Aug 26, 2009If you liked Jazz before the Coltranes and Dolphys, and if you are into Blues and 70s R&B this is album will be a favourite. If you aren't a fan of this, you probably aren't a fan of most American genres.

TharS.Dec 19, 2007WOW! by far one of th ebest albums of 2007. I love how she infused that funk-r&B-and soul genres together to produce astring of hits. Recommended tracks, 'Rehab', 'You Know I'm No Good' 'Love is a Losing Games' 'Back to Black' and 'Tears dry on their own'. i give a ten for her fresh sound, talent in song writing and originality.

Entertainment WeeklyIt's precisely Winehouse's lyrics... that raise this expertly crafted set into the realm of true, of-the-minute originality. [16 Mar 2007, p.67]
-
Blender[It] sounds fantastic--partly because the production nails sample-ready '60s soul right down to the drum sound' and partly because Winehouse is one hell of an impressive singer. [Apr 2007, p.121]
