    I love this album. THe first thing that wowed me was that Nash writes all her own songs and music. Another thing is her style..I love how you can hear her accent while she's singing and overall I would reccomend this album even to the unbelieving in music

    Made Of Bricks is one of the best albums of the year by far. The Kate Nash debut gets better with each listen. Regina Spektor and Lily Allen's love child has created a winner with this incredible album!

    A fantastic debut, a thousand light-years above Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen e others new singers out there.

    Kate Nash is my favorite Kate ...SH since Kate BuSH. To bad the critics are giving her a lot of SH... She deserves better,

    Listen to it a couple of times. The lyrics and music feel naive and accidental at first, but you eventually see how every line is carefully chosen to bring you into the world she lives. the music is best when she is talking about love lost and bad boyfriends (We get on, Merry Happy,Foundations, Nicest thing). Give it a listen, then keep listening. It will grow on you.

    Critics schmitics. She's selling the heck out of tickets to her live shows - another critical failure but popular success. You go girl.

    Kate is original. She isn't afraid of saying what's up in her mind. She just says it, no matter who's there to listen. That's what I liked about her and her album the most. The lyrics are amazing. I just found some of them a little too short and, somewhat, repetitive, but still, amazing.

    It's one of the most exciting debuts by a young female pop artist in ages. If occasionally it veers a wee bit too much towards the cutesy-kooky.

    Essentially, Made Of Bricks is comprised of a lot of below-par b-sides, three pretty special tracks and then bunch of 'nice tries'...but don't expect anyone to be whistling them in three months' time.

    So, from bed-bound broken foot casualty to creator of the finest debut album of the year in just over a year.
