NancyBFeb 5, 2004I have listened to all her CDs an feel this one is the best. A sincere purging with in the depths of emotions. Striking the core of reality of those whom ever walked in a river of pain and abuse.

RussAug 14, 2007The beginning of the album is strong as i've ever heard. The first 6 songs just flow, but then, Atonement starts and just jars me. Gotta skip it every time. The rest of the album is rather uneven with both highs and lows. Still worth owning for the majority of the standout tracks. Just skip the ones you might not like.

joseramonrApr 15, 2003I miss more artists like her in the now new so-called rock and roll world. She sings like amalia, aretha, nina, bob and brother ray did and here´s the maximun expression of her art. It´s like a punk and fado listening experience. Keep on pushing sister.

Oct 28, 2010Agreed this record starts out at a comfortable pace and canter. Some how the cadence is thrown off and he road gets treacherous. One of her best efforts, yet lacks consistency from beginning to end. She needs to dance with the fella that brought her and not tease us with a dance or two with her best friend's little brother.

T.DavidApr 30, 2003Some of the songs show off her brilliance, especially 'Righteously' and the title cut. But others, especially the twang-rappers, give you a 'what was she thinking?' feeling.

There's more Patti Smith in her than there is Patsy Cline.

World Without Tears... is the singer-songwriter's rawest album to date -- it's often closer to all-out rock than it is to either alt-country or the singer-songwriter tradition -- and it's also her best release so far.

Williams' captivating lyrics are gut-wrenchingly intimate.
