    I've been listening to and enjoying her music since her debut in 2005 and this is the most disappointed I've been with an album of hers. Reading all the raves, I'm confused. I find her over the top quavering voice so affected and manipulative that it's hard to listen to. Glad the others are enjoying this, but count me out.

    Has some good moments but in overall i find it very stilted. The vocals are kinda too...

    Carlile has been making high-quality music for years, and In These Silent Days adds to that legacy. The songwriting is so good throughout, and Cobb and Jennings’ production is spot-on. ... Regardless of genre, though, this record deserves recognition as being one of the year’s best.

    It is unmistakably the work of Brandi Carlile, who once again proves she's one of the best singer/songwriters of her generation.

    “In These Silent Days” consolidates Carlile’s strengths: musical, writerly, maternal, political.
