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

    Drastic Fantastic a rare beast: a pop album with a songwriter's heart, and one that works on both levels.

    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]

    While not as good as Eye To The Telescope or Tiger Suit, in my opinion, Drastic Fantastic's a really good album. Hold and Saving My Face are as top notch songs.… Expand

    What about this album cover? From the absolutely terrible font to the "look at me! i rock the bass" pose, this image absolute screams "do not buy me." I would also deduct points for a completely cruddy title. drastic fantastic? how about this title: pleasy, no more cheesy. how she gets paid to do this is beyond me.… Expand
