    What in the hell is this, she tried to copy every style of music because she's Norah Jones, please. I really thought she was gonna be consistent and powerful instead she gets caught up in some sort of style wash, i'm not saying don't try different styles but please don't shove it down our throats.

She has a soulful, beautiful voice that could have taken us back and remain solid, instead she sounds like she's singing other people songs.… Expand

    I am a huge Norah Jones fan, but this CD was blah!!! The only song of any interest was "not too late." Also, Norah has a right to express her political opinions "my dear country," but I purchase her CD's to enjoy her music and relax. I can get my fill of political opinions from talk radio and TV news channels. I loved her first CD (bought 3 of them), her 2nd not so much and the last I am a huge Norah Jones fan, but this CD was blah!!! The only song of any interest was "not too late."

    I'm sorry, but this cd was a total disappointment. Her first two CD's were fun, witty, and exciting. This one however was boring, uninspiring, and not clever at all. The beats arnt catchy or fun at all, and the lyrics either sound as if shes trying too hard (as in sinkin' soon, where half the song is odd food metaphores), or they are just plain lame (as in My Dear Country, I'm sorry, but this cd was a total disappointment.

    I agree, this cd is very boring. Never before in my life I regretted more that I bought a cd. At least on Soul Mining from The The there is one good song, this album has none! It sounds lame, I wish I could return it.

    honestly, i was rather disappointed with this cd. her first two albums blew me away they were so amazing, however i thought this one was very sub-par. the songs were not very clever or inspiring, and there was only one or two songs that were memorable.

    The melodies are pleasant, though forgettable, and the lyrics are those of a dreamy high schooler with little contact with the real world and an inability to think in anything but a superficial way.

    The darker, more mischievous mood at work is perfectly complemented by arrangements that are as inventive as they are austere.

    A very good showcase for Jones's evolution as a writer and musician.

    Sonically, at least, the album takes only a small step away from the latte-lover mainstream.
