    Kerli presents to the world her young creative mind on this project, pretty dark at times, but gets to show her undeniable raw talent.

    the album is very raw, but has a unique identity, the idea is great and the vocals of singers are great, has everything to be successful, not to mention their singles released have a psychedelic footprint nor dark, and it's amazing, I loved it!

    It is "rather than" alternative music, alternative art .. It Kerli vision extends far beyond the notes recorded on your disk, and it is immediately apparent aesthetic twisted fairy tale

    Iconic alternative/rock album. "Love Is Dead" mixes dark with fragile and maybe some happy feelings. The instrumentals and lyrics can make the listener feel the emotions.

    Esse álbum é maravilhoso do começo ao fim, letras e composições muito bem elaboradas, instrumentais exclentes e possuí uma grande variedade de ritmos o que faz com que o álbum se diferencie muito dos outros álbuns.

    "Love Is Dead" is an album with an incredible sound and perfect vocals, each track and well crafted, my favorite is "Hurt Me" produced by Lester Mendez, and composed by Kerli. This album has a very varied sonority, which can take you to a very pleasant experience. Listen to hamper bottom-the!

    One of the best debut albums i have ever heard! There are many tracks in albums that can be big hits like ''The Creationist'' ''Creepshow'' and ''Walking on Air''

    One of my favourite albums. She really has talent. This album is beautiful and hopeful and full of good songs. Kerli has taken inspiration for this album from likes of Björk (Love Is Dead, Fragile) and Natasha Bedingfield (Beautiful Day). There are few mis-steps like Butterfly Cry, but all the other songs are good. My favourite songs from the album are; Bulletproof, Love Is Dead, Fragile,One of my favourite albums.

    A Very Unique Pop Debut..

    For me, the cover signified that it wouldn't be your typical pop album, and that's definitely true, but the lyrics tend to be deceptively light - in a good way. You're drawn in and you think some of the songs would be a little darker, but then she hits you with this completely contrasting, uplifting chorus. It's weird but it works. Totally outstanding.

    Despite its faults, it is one of the most unique albums released by a major label in 2008.

    Unfortunately, it translates into kohl-eyed pantomime, rather than cathartic music, with lyrics so hopelessly trite they sound like a feel-good tract for preschoolers.

    Although her songs occasionally feature the alto piano of Apple or the otherworldly trilling of Morissette or Björk, her voice can sound thin and inconsistent, giving the whole thing a somewhat derivative feel.
