Pleasant but dull.
-
Phair doesn't need her angry-girl persona to prove she has talent, but she may still need it to stand out from the crowd.
-
While Somebody's Miracle marks an improvement over Liz Phair, there's still nothing revolutionary, or even memorable, happening here.
-
Somebody’s Miracle is a collection of pleasantly catchy, if unremarkable, pop songs.
-
Under The RadarWhat's disappointing about Somebody's Miracle is not so much a matter of genre, tone or production sheen, but that Phair has made herself indistinguishable by falling in line. [#11, p.112]
-
If she still manages to retain a major label recording contract after this bomb, that'll be the real miracle.
-
On Somebody's Miracle, she goes for a folksy, acoustic style, but she still oversings, holding notes too long and tackling pop choruses she doesn't have half the voice for.
-
The CD is not all bad, and it's certainly not the complete disaster some critics want it to be.
