AndrewWDec 21, 2006I don't get it?! I have a wide-ranging taste in music. Roy Orbison to Thom Yorke to Johnny Cash to Nick Drake. Love Lou Reed. Love Rufus Wainwright. But I can't get into this album. It's not bad, but it doesn't really do anything. I've been trying to get this album for over a year now and I just give up.

JorgeSMar 26, 2005Just a good voice... but after to listen to this work it reminded me how a great band was The Platters (but not a hype in those years).

JamieKMar 22, 2005I don't think this album lives up to the hype- everyone seems to have been caught up in the swell of "if it's different, it's good".

Haunting and affecting.

For what it lacks in consistency, I Am A Bird Now gains in being, even at its most tedious of moments, an interesting and thematically compelling listen.

Entertainment WeeklyIt could have been mawkish, but the sentiments--and Antony's trembling falsetto--are so honest, you love it despite your jaded self. [4 Feb 2005, p.133]
