Free Music Review: Who's to Say She's Not Good Enough?
Hit: 5 Stars
Perfect album! I can hear it two times in a row without getting bored, (notice that in about ten days I will be celebrating a year of purchasing it) I love it, well...C'est la Vie is not that good, is kinda weird... but in the other songs the lyrics, the music and vocals are just awsome! Well done Vanessa, you just became my favourite singer! If you haven't got this cd I encourage you to buy it right now.Free Music Review: Could easily be 3 stars
Hit: 4 Stars
3.78 stars? Yeah, I'm pretty mixed about this disc. On the one hand it IS good, it DOES contain great songs, but the disc takes far too long to grow on you and has two key problems I detect...
Problem #1: Putting Who's to Say and Annie as the 2nd and 3rd songs really bogs the disc down practically right out of the gate. These two songs really should have been split up for their own good and the cd's own good. Though they are good songs it makes for a rather weak beginning.
Problem #2: The Finale. Papa and She Floats really don't do anything for me and then to top it off not only does it end on a rather dull note with She Floats there is an even a weaker "hidden track" that truly closes out the disc.
Still, the gem on this is Afterglow and it almost erases the errors. San Fran is stunning and Half a Week is a 5 star song on a disc that may not defy the Sophmore Jinx entirely but shows promise as we all wait for the 3rd disc.
Free Music Review: beautiful piano, horrible voice
Hit: 2 Stars
she sounds like ashlee simpson but over nice pianos. Maybe they both went to the same ballet schoolFree Music Review: amazing pianist and songwriter
Hit: 4 Stars
I don't really like her voice though it sounds a little better than the first album. She definitely has a gift for writing piano hooks that stick with you though, without which a 1000 miles wouldn't have become the modern pop/rock classic it is known as.Free Music Review: Papa
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a great album and even better than Be Not Nobody. Although all the tracks are great, I'm just going to comment on a single song. The piano in Papa is just awesome. It gives me goosebumps. To be fully appreciated this song must be played loudly. A grand piano is a loud instrument and your car stereo just isn't going to do it justice. It needs to be played so that it is as loud as Vanessa hears it when she is sitting at the keyboard. The piano is powerful and complex in this work. The performance and writing for the piano reminds me of the phenomenal works of Rick Wakeman and Keith Emerson back in the glory days of art rock. This is what Vanessa Carlton is all about and she is so underappreciated for it.
