BillieB.Oct 9, 2001I think that Poe Is a beautiful talent. I love that my generation finally has an artist that actually has meanings behind her words. Poe makes it very clear that her music comes forth from her heart, mind, and soul. I aspire to be as amazing as she is!!!!

WillSargentJan 2, 2002Comparable to Tori Amos's Little Earthquakes, this album mixes personal revelation with deeply unsettling transitions using the voice of her dead father as her guide. Recommend you turn out all the lights, and listen to the CD from start to finish; the cumulative impact brought tears to my eyes at the finish.

AmberOct 12, 2002There's a beautiful and bewitching quality about Poe's music..that only few other artists have captured. And Haunted is the prime example...its one of the most careful and meaningful albums ever.

AndreaAug 12, 2002This album came to me unexpectedly at the greatest moment of confusion and despair I have ever felt. I found my life and my spirit again while listening to "Spanish Doll." Poe brought to me a cathartic clarity of emotion that can only be described as utterly transcendant. If you open your mind and heart to it, you will find a revelation waiting for you.

MattSFeb 20, 2005absolutely one of the best cd's I have ever heard. A dark, haunting journey through one woman's attempts to become her own person. Beautiful.

ColeKMay 31, 2005I absolutly love this album,it's completely different than any other of this genre, if you can give it a genre, it's beautifully haunting while not pretencious,a beautiful masterpiece of lyrical and musical artwork.

MarkGAug 8, 2006This album could be put in the same class as Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon." Anyone who professes to not like it undoubtedly doesn't understand and never gave it a full listen. This is the first POE that I ever heard, and I became an instant fan! There is not a bad song on this disc.

cyphixationAug 24, 2001Poe brings her vivid imagery and textured voice inflections to another awesome album.

AjonjolinaA.Sep 22, 2001If Poe would just get rid of all the self-indulgent crap and stick to singing her excellent lyrics, this would be the most awesome album!

BillF.Aug 27, 2002Technically speaking the dulcette voice of Poe, the beauty of well mastered mixing and the general theme of this album both dark and light, on these merits alone everyone should have a copy of this cd. Her voice is mesmerizing and beautiful of its own

MichelleS.Dec 30, 2004This is one of my favorite albums of all time. I always discover something new when I listen to it, and if you take the time to learn the story behind "Haunted," you appreciate its subtleties even more.

AbeDFeb 10, 2004Haunted ranks as one of my all-time favorite albums. I enjoy the title track in particular, but there isn't a clunker in the mix.

JewelCJul 19, 2004I love the darkness of this album. She captures the mood of HOL perfectly!

EffieTMar 13, 2005I listened to this album for 3 months straight! It's addicting. One of my favorite albums-period.

MissyHSep 3, 2005Deep, unnerving, sneaks up on you at times, and love the lyrics. She says things that every woman's "daddy's little girl" inside wants to say. Shame really that Rolling Stone missed the mark on their review, seems that the rolling has stopped at the bank. Im a total fan and one of a growing number.

BrendaJan 13, 2002Simply stunning from beginning to end. One of my all-time favorites, it has been in my CD changer for over a year now, and gets played daily. Now, if only Poe would get the commercial recognition she so richly deserves...

ElaineM.Oct 28, 2002I reccomend this CD to everyone that I know. It is Dark and Spiritual at the same time. I think that everyone should own a copy of this album...I own 2!

Lyrically, Haunted progresses from timid to defiant, and ultimately to triumphant. Musically, Poe drifts confidently from trippy beats and spacy sounds to straight ahead rock and mellow, melancholic numbers, though not always in such a way as to strictly parallel the dramatic flow of the album's lyrics. All that means, though, is that this is a dynamic collection of songs and not merely the kind of high-minded rock opera that quickly goes from interesting novelty to pretentious joke. Ignore everything but what comes out of the speakers, and you've got a pop treasure that is as innovative and insightful as it is immediate and unforced.
-
Sadly, Poe's work might not be welcomed in the mainstream, which is disappointing because her original compositions have the makings for a new music revolution alongside the likes of Radiohead's Kid A. Haunted is in its own class of twisted intelligence and beauty.

Q MagazineThe mood is too heavy for far too long, but some good songs and more cohesive, melodic structures augur well for this damaged daughter's future. [Sep 2001, p.115]
