Oct 9, 2021Im just here casually trying to make the rating higher. People are actually such haters on here and I thought the tabloids were bad.

Dec 29, 2010As a rule, I hate dance music just slightly less than actually dancing, but this is pretty damn good. Far, far less monotonous than most of its ilk. For folks like me, a good listen, and great to clean house to!
-
Dec 6, 2010beautiful. I have little that I can think to say other than listen to this.
It may take a little while to get into as all the songs are about 6 minutes long at the least -
Nov 11, 2010Maybe the only ''classic'' album released in 2010, each Joanna's album is better than the previous one. Probably she's the best contemporary songwriter.

AdamHApr 17, 2010Its only fault is that there's too much of it for one listen. Even writing this I feel like I'm nit-picking. Maybe I'll change my vote next year when I've digested it completely.

RodrigoAApr 8, 2010Fantastic. Joanna Newson is one of the greatest voices I have ever heard. Truly amazing. After "Ys" it was difficult to do better but she managed it.

TommyB.Mar 24, 2010This album is stunning beyond words. In the same way that Y's was one of the most profound and dazzling albums of the last three decades, her lattest offering shows her creative genius in full bloom. with a newfound lyrical directness that makes these songs all the more impactfull while retaining their ellusive allure.

BradPMar 7, 2010Sprawling and unfocused, the songs are a blur of delicate sounds that don't appear to mean a damn thing.

JimIMar 6, 2010Amazing album, her voice keeps getting better.

-
JSMar 3, 2010A great album that could essentially be a lot shorter. I think in the end over saturation takes over. Nonetheless there some beautiful songs like '81, among others.
-
-
VincentBMar 2, 2010Though completely different to her first two albums once again she has taken a step forwards, developed and come up with something wholly beautiful, even though the amount of music is somewhat daunting. Thank God for Joanna!

JoshKFeb 28, 2010'Have One On Me' perfectly exemplifies the fruition of someone who may very well go down as one of the best songwriters of her generation. Ambitious yet not pretentious, Newsom recalls the likes of Joni Mitchell and Kate Bush on her magnum opus.

-
PilewskiAFeb 28, 2010Cathartic, Great, etc. SURE. But also offputtingly pretentious, bloated, and simply not as lovely as the proverbial cupcake.
-
-
BeauR.Feb 26, 2010Have One On Me is dense and sprawling but wondrous and surprising, though not as surprising as an unsurprising album would have been. It also sounds like a natural stepping-stone in Newsom's fearless, carefully sculpted body of work.

BradleyJFeb 24, 2010Much more versatile than Ys and an easier listen! Some tracks feel almost spiritual! Well, not in a she is "god" sorta sense, but like your head is floating. Ok

HanzelL.Feb 23, 2010So far, the best album of 2010! I've been following its mistery since she introduced us with the new tracks. I must say that, if you were expecting Ryan Francescony to equal Van Dyke Park

Awards & Rankings
-
As an album, it is huge, sometimes overwhelming-- but such is the strength and individuality of Newsom’s vision, it seems almost inconceivable she could produce anything unremarkable.
-
Much like a riveting movie keeps you in your seat, you’ll want to pay close attention to Joanna Newsom’s astonishing new album for fear of missing too much of the plot.
-
Try to label what Newsom does in a sentence or two, and you just tie yourself in knots. Have One On Me will do little to change all that, and so the only clear point of reference is her own previous work. Beyond that, though, it’s enough to say that it’s her, and if you loved "Ys" as much as this writer did, you’re probably going to love Have One On Me also.
