    Drastic Fantastic feels neither brave nor raw; Steve Osborne, working with Tunstall for the second time, has produced an album of flawless pop hits.

    There's another side to the jaunty guitars and multi-tracked choruses that sometimes make Tunstall sound like she's singing an orange juice advert.... 'Beauty of Uncertainty' and the closer 'Paper Aeroplane' are stark and moody etudes as far removed from, say, Dido as it's possible to get.

    While there's nothing on Drastic Fantastic to spook the horses, neither is it an obvious rerun of its predecessor. [October 2007, p.90]

    Formulaic, smooth, and blah... so very blah.

    KT Tunstall's music is drab and boring. It was with her first album and it is with this album. I still cannot believe my roommate bought this album. And the sad part is Kate (that's right, I used your real name) believes she's actually doing something bold and inventive. What on this album is either bold or inventive? Stop trying to be a hero, Tunstall. You sucked in the beginning, and you'll always suck.… Expand
