    Rabbits on the Run is a deeply satisfying 37-minute romp that will make you remember why you really liked Vanessa Carlton once upon a time.

    This is music made with no audience in mind: it is strikingly personal, to the extent that it suggests that Carlton needs to get this soul-searching out of her system in order to move forward.

    As you can listen, this album its personal and we are very lucky to be able to hear it. I mean its almost like when you tell secrets to your best friend or someone you can trust, but with beautiful music & lyrics which of course makes the moment so special and unforgettable. So I think this is really what Vanessa meant when she said she wasn't going to do any more albums. The reason why this album cant be reviewed with numbers its because it is way to special. As a music producer I feel proud to say she is one of the few artists i have been following since she started. Unexpectedly, through the years i was waiting for something beautiful to come, now its here. Expand

    Honestly i was never a big vanessa carlton fan. Her albums seemed overdone to me. Good songs tho. I bought this cause i read an amazing review and i'm also a big my morning jacket fan. (the drummer from that band played on this.) It seems she's finally made the record she wanted to which is different frm everything else she;s done before. Evolved a ton. Never thought i'd say this but maybe one of the best albums of the year. It's very dreamy and sort of meloncholy in a beautiful way. Lyrics are a whole other level. I LOVE I don't want to be a bride. There's a children's choir throughout. Expand

  3. Rabbits on the run marks a rather surprising turn in Carlton's career - and it's a turn for the better. She has never been so carefree and so personal at the same time. The album may get sad sometimes, but it's beautiful all the way, and what's rare nowadays, it gets better with each song. Expand
