Nov 8, 2013I don't know what happens to the relationship between Feist and I, but it seems that Feist sings just because they have to put food on the table the next day.

Feb 7, 2012This is great, 1234 and Feel It All are two of the best songs of the last century and the rest grow on you after time. A few songs are plain and hard to relate to but its forgivable.

Oct 8, 2011Beatiful. Just that I can say when something like "The Reminder" is made. With GREAT lyrics, and indie beats, the voice of Leslie Feist just fitted so well in the best record of 2007, "1234", and in others like "My Moon, My Man", "So Sorry" and "The Water", and this remarkable CD will be forever remebered as the one that made indie music go back to the highlights of mainstream!

TonyRJan 13, 2008its pop minus the bubble gum and the nasty flavor you get after chewing on it for hours this album from the first few seconds to end is so good and this alone gives light for future music in the mainstream which honestly is dead

TedR.Dec 14, 2007Leslie is a refreshing change from the anger filled, hate rap and "clip, clop". A sweet, seductive sound of innocence and real music. She her and her band have my attention and my heart!

JeffK.Oct 20, 2007Awesome!

EthanHOct 8, 2007One of the best albums of all time - a surprisingly mature, flowing piece from an already established artist, the Reminder is set to become a classic. Absolutely gorgeous.
-
-
TimE.Oct 3, 2007Let me first state that I do not own this album simply because I can hear practically every song on this album being played on the trendiest commercials on TV. Sounds great though.
-
-
RobbieC.Sep 23, 2007One of the best albums since the turn of the century! Like her last record, this one starts out quietly, and most of the songs seem unadventurous. But unlike her last album, this is a totally current sound and a very original and honest record. Her voice is like honey, her melodies are heart-breaking and her energy is intense, confident and compelling. A+!

FabioLSep 6, 2007Very good album. Though there were some songs I could definitely live without hearing once more (esp. "The Park").

OlivierSAug 7, 2007Weston T.'s review says it all - first introduction to Feist is this gem of an album and I hesitate listening to Let It Die in the fear that it wont live up to the beauty of this album. Progression is expected in every artist's repertoire but the bar has been set very high with The Reminder.

DrakeAug 1, 2007Terrific album, Feist is one of the most brillaint artist working right now in music.

seandJul 29, 2007absolute crap, i cant believe this kind of garbage is embraced by music critics and critical fans alike. if you like this than you should go out and get some norah jones albums because they sound exactly the same...lavender diamond is 10 times better if you have to listen to a similar thing

YepaJAJun 14, 2007This is a very good album but you have to admit that not all songs are great.
-
-
WestonT.Jun 10, 2007The Reminder is my introduction to Feist, so I'm a little afraid to get her previous efforts for fear they won't be as mature and rich in palette as this. This work is nicely affecting and personal, her voice as warm as any old friend, but will be one of my "guilty pleasures" until I turn 40+ and I can explain my musical tastes to starting down to road to dufferdom.

BBrownJun 6, 2007This album makes me so happy. I know it's been said a million times, but I love her voice! I've been playing My Moon My Man and Past in Present over and over again.
-
-
GiancarloJun 3, 2007I agree with everyone, this is easily the best album of 2007. If you don't have this album, get it NOW!!!!!
-
-
DylanSMay 28, 2007Beautiful, but overlong. The Reminder is a testament to how wonderful a song writer Leslie Feist is, but it also shows how sometimes she just flat you leaves you feeling like you're listening to some Lilith Fair has-been. Hardly a difficult listen The Reminder rewards constant replay and that is when you really learn to love it.

davidMay 27, 2007Feist is well worth a listen - most tracks are super - a couple are off, but she rocks! Give her a chance
-
-
AnthonyPMay 23, 2007Surprised to read such passionate reviews, as I find it kind of forgettable. Maybe it's a sleeper (but I guess I'll never know). To me the production's annoying - makes her sound tinny. I miss the groovy stuff.
-
-
SmithMay 23, 2007The most beautiful album of the year. This is Feist's crowning achievement.

ThompsonMay 16, 2007Some of the best music released so far this year. Fabulous, that's how I would pretty much sum up this entire album. It's so good it might end up being one of your favorite albums ever. It's that good.

-
JoseMay 12, 2007Amazing from start to finish! Probably the best album of 07.

MattD.May 9, 2007She's not one of my favorite artists, but she's certainly better than Norah Jones has been of late. Think a cult-artist's take on jazz and pop balladry.
-
-
DarnellMay 9, 20071,2,3,4, 8,9, Twain! Is anybody else getting a Shania Twain thing with Feist. Feist is no-boubt talented, but I can't seem to shake this Twain thing with her. Good, slightly derivative, and that's about it.

-
SamuelSMay 6, 2007Incredible album. Lots of space, with many nooks and crannies of sound and mood. Choice cuts might be: Brandy Alexander, I feel it all and Limit To Your Love, although you could just as easily pick any other three. How's about three cheers, for Feist!

johnnyXMay 4, 2007good album!
-

JohnathanR.May 4, 2007The album as a whole is ingeniously put together: the order of the tracks, the always great production from Gonzales (and Mocky and Jamie Lidell). Such a superb effort!
-
-
RonnieMMay 4, 2007Lovely, beautiful, melodic and unique. Her music just lifts my mood.

EdgarHMay 4, 2007Best album of 07.
-
-
HenryJ-RMay 2, 2007This is really incredible. She wrote almost all of these songs and they sound even more classic than the covers on her last album "1234" is one of those perfect songs that makes you surprised that it wasn't written before.

DarwinGApr 30, 2007One of the best albums of the year so far. A great combination of indie, pop, and folk.
-
-
StipeGApr 30, 2007A master piece! In comparison with excellent 'Let It Die' this more compact, simple, mature, sincere, mellow and emotional album.... ahh that voice....

GillJApr 21, 2007Feist has slowly becomed one of my all-time favorite artist and this album proves my point. Her music just speaks to me in a way very few artist do. Even though, I still prefer "Let It Die" but The Reminder is still an amazing follow-up. This album does everything right and that's why it's my favorite record of 07, by far.
-

FrankDApr 20, 2007This another solid effort by my girl Feist. Just amazing! That's about all I can say. I'm speechless.

[Anonymous]Apr 17, 2007A completely natural progression from Let It Die, yet it's almost nothing like the French-pop feel that Let It Die had. It feels fuller, looser, and even her voice sounds better, which doesn't quite seem possible considering the great quality of her previous album. Best of the year in my book.
-
-
MikeJApr 17, 2007WOW!! What an album. Some of the most beautiful music I've had the pleasure of listening to in the last 3 years. Much better than "Let It Die", which is also great. I'm in love with Feist! This girl needs to blow up big time! I Highly recommend.
-
-
DamienDApr 17, 2007The Reminder, Arcade Fire's Neon Bible and Of Montreal's Hissing Fauna are without a doubt the best albums I've listened to so far this year. Typical Feist elements here, which is a good thing. Very lovely, well crafted love songs from start to finish. This album is a bonafide gem. Feist you ROCK!!

“The Reminder” is a modestly scaled but quietly profound pop gem: sometimes intimate, sometimes exuberant, filled with love songs and hints of mystery. [15 Apr 2007]
-
Under The RadarAlthough it stumbles here and there... it's also littered with the proof that few artists are as adept at crafting such smart, intimate pop and from such a bevy of sources. [#17, p.84]

While nothing here is wholly original, it is a pleasure for as long as it plays.
