Oct 24, 2022This is SPECTACULAR, one of the front runners for greatest album of all time, and is my pick for favourite album of all time. Sheds a light on drugs and alcohol and relationships.

Aug 23, 2022Honest, brutal, raw, iconic, legendary a classic timeless record by the great Amy Winehouse
-
Aug 22, 2022Outstanding album. Flawless vocals and instruments. A beautiful body of work from a singer that became a legender. Really good!
-
Aug 20, 2022É o melhor álbum de todos os tempos, a voz da amy, as composições, a produção, ela foi o momento
-
Jul 29, 2022Be serious this album is nothing but a 10/10. Amy’s vocals and songwriting were way ahead of her time and brought jazz back into the mainstream. It’s crazy to imagine what her third album would have sounded like because this one would be hard to top.
-
Jun 9, 2022An incredibly entertaining album with extremely deep lyrics, and a fair amount of songs, no more, no less. The most notable songs are: Back To Black, You know i'm no good, Tears dry on their own, Some unhloy war and He can only hold her.

Oct 14, 2021Um dos melhores albums de todos os tempos
-
May 3, 2021Start listening to Back to Black, and you'll feel like you're drifting through a coffeehouse, listening to strangers unabashedly open up about their lusts, romances, heartbreaks, addictions - all while a classy doo-wop choir vocalizes in the background.

Oct 1, 2020i’ve been listening to this album since i was very young, which is curious cause i remember the day i first listened to it and fell in love with amy. since then it literally hasn’t been the same.
i don’t know what else to say besides the fact that this album will go down on history as one of the best ever. we miss u amy -
Sep 28, 2020just... amazing.

Nov 14, 2019Legend of soul Legend in this year. Best of 2007. Okay, i'm really crying! Just best! Thanks

Jun 26, 2019Amy Winehouse , su último disco y uno de los mejores que he escuchado en toda mi vida
-
Jun 1, 2019A performance dada por Amy para cada canção faz Back to Black tornar-se um clássico instantâneo.
-
May 13, 2019A legendary album from a legendary artist. It's a shame she had to go so soon.
-
Jul 12, 2018A full-of-feeling with a powerful voice singer + Very sincere lyrics + A very competent band + A perfect rhytm part + A lot of arrangements + A lot of soul, melancholy, melodies, groove = Back to Black
-
Jul 2, 2017Uno de los mejores discos que haya escuchado en mi vida. Las lÃricas honestas y crudas de una interprete dolida y que lucha ante una vida que cae al precipicio. Su honestidad y la manera en que desnuda su alma en cada canción me dejaron sin palabras y con mas de una lagrima derramada, Amy una de las mejores artistas de la historia le basto dos discos para ganarse mi respeto. RIP Angel

Jul 18, 2015This is a great record. This is a motion capture of a disturbed artist at her peak. She was a girl when she made this. A young girl. Her voice and phrasing is astonishing for her age. What a great record. Amy's lyrics are a telling portrait of her life.
-
Apr 8, 2015This album is an icon of music. the lyrics are sincere, showing feelings you can feel as you hear the songs. It is not just an album any, will be very rare to have other albums in the future as this. Since 2007 remains beloved unlike many around.
-
Feb 18, 2015It's like Prefix Magazine said... Back to Black stands in testament to the fact that talent and originality still exist. Amy was an amazing singer and songwriter and this album is the prove of the pretty soul that Amy has to give to all listeners.
-
Dec 17, 2014Amy Winehouse siempre sera recordada, aunque hoy hace parte del poco glorioso "Club de los 27", ella en si es gloriosa, un álbum maduro y bastante completo, con bastante sentimiento y con letras profundas, donde resalta la voz de Amy, que es en si un paraÃso vocal.
-
May 21, 2014Back To Black's ultimate perfection gives viability to the fact that Winehouse's raw talent and flawless originality give the music industry the light at the end of the tunnel it so desperately needed.
-
Nov 15, 2013This is by far my favourite album made by a British female artist. It is a true testament to the artist she was and it's such a shame she did not get to create a third tremendous effort.
-
Nov 6, 2013A very solid sophomore release by Amy Winehouse. I love these songs, they're more mature than Frank's, the only problem is that every song talks about relationships and sadness. Behind that, I understand why this has sold 20 million copies.
-
Aug 16, 2013I am so sad that Amy died, because now she can't make amazing albums like "Back To Black". "You Know I'm No Good" is a hit, but "Tears Dry On Their Own" is a home run.
-
Mar 9, 2013Amazing tracks! Bring old styles back, with elements of blues, soul and jazz. Say that we need to go back to black, back to antique music times, and never forget them.

Jun 3, 2012Just As The Debut Really Good Album..
Not A 10.. But A 9...
I Feel A Little Nice Giving A 9.. But I Feel Like Amy Has The Voice To Be Somthing Better..
Still A Very Good Album.. -
Jan 25, 2012The reason I love Amy Winehouse is because she's brutally honest, and she doesn't shy away from her honesty in Back To Black. Tracks like "Rehab" and "Addiction" completely show what Amy Winehouse is about. This is a great album from start to finish. Her vocals are beautiful, her lyrics are honest, and the production is amazing. Amy Winehouse was a wonderful singer and her legacy will live on. A-

Nov 22, 2011R.I.P Amy Winehouse. She's one of my favorite artist and I will miss her. She is my favorite live performer. I love her unique, soulful soul. In this album, she sings about love and drugs. The album won 5 Grammys in 2008. Back to Black is one of my favorite album of all time. Miss you Amy.

Dec 6, 2010This album is one of the best album I've ever heard. Best classy production, promising vocals, and honest lyrics brings the best of Amy and the album. No boring songs and every song is a need to hear.
-
Oct 26, 2010This album surprized me. Im not a paticular "Jazz" fan, but this album was god. plain and simple, no one can deny that. While listening to "Rehab" i actually got chills. That's how well Winehouse can paint a picture with her voice.

ipsed.Aug 26, 2009If you liked Jazz before the Coltranes and Dolphys, and if you are into Blues and 70s R&B this is album will be a favourite. If you aren't a fan of this, you probably aren't a fan of most American genres.
-
-
NunoEUJul 2, 2009An amazing album, a masterpiece! One of the best albuns of the century... "Love Is a Losing Game" and "Tears Dry On Their Own" are 5 stars *****!
-
-
abJan 24, 2009Her voice is beautiful, as are some of the songs ("Wake Up Alone" was on repeat for awhile), but some of the material was weak (the sample for "Tears Dry On Their Own" was obvious and made the song seem pale and kitschy in comparison to the original). Hopefully her next album will be filled with stronger, more original material.

ShazzyK.Jan 22, 2009The users ratings here are just testament to the fact that where music is concerned you gotta make your own decision. Loved NOT just the voice but songs as well.

PedroP.Dec 21, 2008Best artist of the century, she has the most beautiful voice ever, and she ain't another pretty face like someone (Mariah Carey, Rihanna, Beyonce...) she's is god! enough said!

JarrenS.Jul 8, 2008Amy's voice is fantastic. The song writing is decent; could be a little more exciting and a little less biographical, and I would have given it a 10. I'm shocked by how many people gave this a 0. Kind of silly.
-
-
ECJul 3, 2008I know this is new and exciting for a lot of people, but am I the only one who has heard this done before, and done better? It's not an awful album. It just didn't strike me as unique or fresh, which is what so many have hailed it as. I was kind of bored, to be honest.
-
-
ZéM.Jun 2, 2008The music is good as the performer is classy. I'm in love with her voice

DuaneJ.Mar 15, 2008A Grammy??? I know people go for the bad boy image but the but girl? Fell asleep through most of the songs.

MichaelV.Feb 5, 2008Such a great and husky voice that brings me back to the old days, even though I am not old. Great lyrics as well!
-
-
ArieBFeb 4, 2008Haven't been so enthusiastic for a singer since D'Angelo. The guy disappeared...and so did hopes for old school soul. But Amy, wow, it's another dimension. Everything about this album is amazing. I only wish she takes care of herself, learns to be low key and keeps on blessing us with her talent for a very long time.
-
-
JosephF.Jan 9, 2008Simply amazing voice. Not that original when you compare it to a long time ago, but nobody is doing the stuff she is right now. Great way to change things up.

-
StevebC.Dec 26, 2007I bought this album because I liked the song "rehab". After listening to the whole album a couple of times, I got hooked and realized she's a great artist.
-
-
TharS.Dec 19, 2007WOW! by far one of th ebest albums of 2007. I love how she infused that funk-r&B-and soul genres together to produce astring of hits. Recommended tracks, 'Rehab', 'You Know I'm No Good' 'Love is a Losing Games' 'Back to Black' and 'Tears dry on their own'. i give a ten for her fresh sound, talent in song writing and originality.

AlexWOct 14, 2007Definitely not as good as her debut, but the better songs on there can still hold their own. Hope the girl gets better so she can work on her third album!
-
-
JamesKSep 12, 2007Without a doubt, one of the best pop albums in years if not one of the best albums released this decade. The honesty, pain, heartbreak, and emotion as expressed not only by Amy's lyrics, but also through her voice are undeniable, which makes this record simply exceptional. A stellar achievement and a career high few artists will ever reach. Instant classic.

OligamiSep 1, 2007One fine soul album.

OthoS.Aug 18, 2007Blah, blah, blah. I am so sick of bad girls promoting their badness. Get your ass inro the rehab that you disdain so that you can have a career, you little cunt.
-
-
KhalidBAug 12, 2007As a whole, the album is a peice of shit, but if u listen to the songs, 1 by 1, at different occasions, they sounds soo amazing, her voice is exceptional on this album, a highlight in this song is Addicted, shows that she has some humor that Artists such as Kate nash and Lily Allen have (tell your boyfriend, when he comes around, to buy his own weed and dont ware my shit down). Bravo Amy
-
-
jyotirmayadAug 7, 2007Amy Winehouse is such a fresh new talent... she does it all in her own trademark style... she is surely one of the most important artists of 2007, and should win many music awards.
-
-
lilsAug 4, 2007Great, one of the year's bests. Great voice, smart lyrics, which seem hard to sing on the paper, but she pulls it out easily. Very bluesy, very honest, very british, with Rehab as an instant classic. And for all of you who say she's a one hit wonder, she had another great record, Frank, and it's single Stronger than Me won Ivor Novello. I hope we'll be hearing more of her!
-
-
[Anonymous]Jul 15, 2007this is great . no questions about it. every track is a killer , a bit short ... but i suppose that just makes you want to play it again
-
-
JCT.Jul 2, 2007This album, in my opinion, is the best R&B album to be released since 1998's "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill." Though the cd only contains 10 tracks, each one is a winner; there are NO fillers. She's definitely solidified her Best New Artist nomination -- and a win isn't an insurmountable feat for her at this point. Pure genius.

kevind.Jun 17, 2007brilliant, a refreshing relief from the crap music around these days. as usual, Rolling Stone misses the mark yet again by only giving it 3 stars. no surprise there...

-
BreL.Jun 14, 2007She has a pretty nice voice, but she lacks something. Sure, she's different, but different doesn't equal an automatic "wow that rulz".
-
-
AnthonyBJun 14, 2007Nice eye candy but there's nothing new here. Imagine a drunk, british Fergie with worse beats. Come 2008 we'll be seeing Amy Winehouse in the 'One Hit Wonder' bin along with Rico Suave and The Vengaboys.
-
-
ChrisCJun 5, 2007It's better tracks are some of the best singles of the year so far, easy. I can't believe this kind of record is actually selling to mainstream audiences.
-
-
LJJ.Jun 5, 2007Overhyped, overrated. I really dislike her voice, and I love R&B. Seems ppl are so desperate to hear something other than the slick dance R&B; that this is getting better reviews than it deserves on its own merit. I'd have forgotten all about this, if I didn't keep seeing the hype in so many places.
-
-
christopehrfJun 3, 2007She and James Hunter have done a masterful job of reviving soul/r&b while adding their own uniquely contemporary twist.
-
-
petelJun 2, 2007the album peaks & dips in places, but when it peaks, it really peaks. You also can't deny that her voice is amazing and can make anything sound powerful. Best Songs: Rehab, You Know I'm No Good, Back To Black, Tears Dry On Their Own, Wake Up Alone, Addicted (odd, but good) And even the less good songs arent tragic.
-
-
CaseyRD.May 29, 2007The only reason I'd give this record a bad review is cuz a certain blogger name Perez Hilton "claims" to have discovered her before everyone else. She had nothing to do with that and she is beyond gifted and I can't take that away from her
-
-
AndrewBMay 26, 2007How anyone with a computer can buy an album and give it a 0 is completely beyond me. Listen morons, don't buy an album until you've heard a song or two. Buying an album and giving it a 0 is more a reflection on your unwise spending than it is on the quality of the album.
-
-
AlfredoMMay 25, 2007Her unique voice and daring lyrics makes this album one of the year's best!!! The song "Back To Black" is just outstanding.

-

JONRMay 15, 2007This album is perfect. Amy writes about pain, yet manages to capture an uplifting element among it. This is one of the best album in the past 10 years. This is a classic sure to be in my listening collection in my 60's.
-
-
DeboAMay 15, 2007The album is not perfect but every song manages to grab and keep you. I just can't help but fall in love with this girl's musick. She is brutally honest and has a voice to be compared with the likes of Ella Fitzgerald&Etta James. You won't be disappointed.
-
-
BenKMay 11, 2007How anyone can dislike this album is seriously beyond me. Her vocals are strong and unique, her lyrics are to die for, and the music is insanely catchy in an innovative way. Amy is love.

-
KatiePMay 9, 2007She is AWFUL. i cannot comprehend how ANYONE can like her?! she makes me want to rip my ears off.

-
Sid1983May 2, 2007The kind you listen to on a grey NYC morning on the way to work or sitting and watching the rain. But whatever pithy you use, it's an album you can feel

Entertainment WeeklyIt's precisely Winehouse's lyrics... that raise this expertly crafted set into the realm of true, of-the-minute originality. [16 Mar 2007, p.67]
-
Blender[It] sounds fantastic--partly because the production nails sample-ready '60s soul right down to the drum sound' and partly because Winehouse is one hell of an impressive singer. [Apr 2007, p.121]
