    Awfully dull. She paid a studio to record that ? Good moments but not an album you`d listen more than once a month.

    A couple of good tracks (suddenly I see, other side of the world), but ultimatly this is a collection of songs that she wrote over a long period of time whilst trying to make it, and if this is the result of years of work, I doubt her next album will be very good

    I think she tried to prove she could write deep lyrics... but she didn't... catchy songs, but definetly wouldn't last more than 1 month listening to it... nice effort though...

    It's got okay hooks and catchy melodies, but the music feels tired and lacking life in many of her songs.

    One of those albums which is only have good, some great singles but the rest of the album is kinda flat and a lot of the acoustic style she brings to her live performances seems lost in the recording. She has many better b sides which could have replaced some of the lesser songs on this album. Shame.

    A delicious blend of acoustic guitar, raw grooves and sublime melodies. [11 Feb 2006]

    The disc is made up mostly by mid-tempo classic rockers and sweet nothing ballads. Disappointing? Well, yes.
