Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Totally agree with the consensus-not groundbreaking, but why does that matter?This album can in no way be described as groundbreaking-but who cares-it takes the best parts of 'Smile' and builds upon them-for me 'Smile' was good and at times great, but it didn't quite work as a whole, whereas this album most definitely does and to be honest there's not a bad track on it: 1.The Devils Beat-Not a great choice of single, but I do like it and it probably is the most original track. 7.5/10 2.Shape I'm In-Generic pop and I love it! Catchy and melodic; brill vocals! 9/10 3.Wounded Hearts-My least favourite song on the album-forgettable. 6/10 4.Saturday Night-Catchy pop ditty! 8/10 5.Beatbox-Growing on me immensely, an intelligent song. 8/10 6.Remote Control Me-Great fun and what Sandi does ...

I special ordered this from Amazon, because I live in the United States and it's not available, and have not regretted it. 1. The Devil's Beat 9/10 - Great choice for a single. Love both the lyrics and the music. The viola (cello, perhaps?) does the song justice. The song has a real attitude to it to make any Sandi Thom happy. 2. Shape I'm In 8/10 - This may be my least favorite song, but it's still a pretty good song. The lyrics really make the song great. "I don't need to know, what's comin' round the bend, cause I'm gonna keep my shape, no matter what shape I'm in..." Read More: Rating: - a hugely under rated talent in many ways "punk rocker" has been both a blessing and curse for sandi thom. it was such a huge success and polarized opinion to such a degree that what she has done subsequently has tended to be overlooked. there is much to enjoy though both with her debut album and "the pink & the lily". wonderful acoustic pop music with hooks that get in your head on first listen. uncomplicated, honest, feel good music that is quite honestly a breath of fresh air. recommended. Rating: - ExcellentThis album doesn't have to be "groundbreaking" whatever that means. It's choc full of intelligently warm, catchy, melodic music, made and sung by someone who still seems to know what making music is. An absolutely incredible album, it's more of the same, but then, that exactly what is so damn good about it. Vastly under-rated. 10 stars. Rating: - Accomplished but not groundbreakingPeople are not going to look back on this album as one of the great milestones of pop history. It doesn't break any new ground. That said, there's nothing wrong with it. It's more of the same from Miss Thom, her characteristic upbeat pop/folk/rock style peppered with a couple of more thoughtful pieces. Her music suits her voice and her voice suits her music. If you liked Smile you'll like this, if you didn't you won't. If you're looking for radically new and original stuff, you won't really find it here, but if you're looking for a decent, easy listening, inoffensive album to while away 44 minutes and 32 seconds in a good mood, this'll do you. |
