    While it's undeniably polished, it's a bit too dark, a bit too quirky, and a bit too individualistic to be part of the mainstream, while being too slick and professional to be on the fringe, but the album is all the more ingratiating for being caught between two worlds.

    The whole affair is overly polished, strangely detached and contains a thoroughly unnecessary cover of Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry."

    Her Sheryl Crow-like growl can't win the battle against the disc's glossy production. [8 Apr 2005, p.64]

    Okay, so she's substituted a gutteral growl for her father's facial sneer -- but I like Lisa Marie! Her breathy alto matches fits Okay, so she's substituted a gutteral growl for her father's facial sneer -- but I like Lisa Marie! Her breathy alto matches fits the minor keys in which the songs are played and, by golly, she actually sings in tune. As for the "polished" sound about which others have complained -- that's called musical professionalism. I think this is a well-thought out, well produced and excellently engineered album --- but then I'm 60 years old and remember when music was considered an art form.… Full Review »
