Free Music Notes for Heroes & Thieves
Free Music Review: Welcome back Vanessa, and thanks for the great album!
Hit: 5 Stars
I love Vanessa's music style, the melodic yet syncopated rhythms with a strong piano background. It may seem simple, but in some ways that's what makes her music so refreshing. While "Be Not Nobody" had a few tracks that I liked, this album is as a whole one I could listen to all the way through without skipping any tracks. Her best album to date. My favorite tracks are "Heroes and Thieves," "Come Undone," "Fools Like Me," "My Best," and "Nolita Fairytale," which is an excellent opener. Great music Vanessa; keep it up. I hope people who aren't familiar with Vanessa Carlton's music give it a try. You may be surprised. Free Music Review: Vanessa Carlton's Best!
Hit: 5 Stars
Before listening to Heroes & Thieves I've gotten full doses of Be Not Nobody and Harmonium. I love her music, and with every lyric, song, and album Carlton puts out, it almost always has a different flavor, even if it's a subtle one. In Heroes & Thieves, I think Carlton's put out her best yet. She's come a long way from "A Thousand Miles" and has progressed tremendously in her sound.
Be Not Nobody and Harmonium are incomparable in terms of sound and lyric to Carlton's latest. Heroes & Thieves just sounds good-even the longer, more drawn out songs like "Home" and "Come Undone." My favorites are "Hands on Me," "Spring Street," "My Best," and "The One (which features the amazing Stevie Nicks!)." Be Not Nobody had a greater "pop" vibe out of her three albums (in my opinion). Harmonium definitely had much deeper and lush songs, including "Afterglow" and "San Francisco," but still had Carlton's signature piano base. Simply put, Heroes & Thieves blows her other two albums out of the water! They were great albums, mind you, but neither compare of H & T.
Every song of H & T paints a different picture, from summer love, to coming-of-age, to self realization. This album has a great mix of songs. Great melodies, lyrics, and moods circulate all throughout this album.
I can honestly say (not just because I'm a fan of Vanessa Carlton) that this is one of the best albums I've listened to. Carlton's longtime fans won't be disappointed, and new listeners will get a taste of Carlton's finest. Enjoy!
Free Music Review: Great album but 'enhanced'??
Hit: 4 Stars
Why is this album listed as 'ENHANCED'??
It is a plain audio CD.
Amazon - Please correct this.
Apart from that, great album. Personally I think her albums have got better with each release. Recommended.
Free Music Review: A Nessa-holic's dream come true . . .
Hit: 5 Stars
I waited a long time for this album--fellow fans will know Nessa's story (she lost her record deal after Harmonium failed; the lyrics in Nolita Fairytale hold many hidden truths).
The fault with Harmonium was that too many of its tracks were dark and unaccessible, it was overall too "gothic" an album. Heroes and Thieves, however, has more of a light, pop feel, while still keeping Nessa's trademark emotion and spontaneity. My favorite tracks here are 'Nolita Fairytale', 'My Best', 'The One', 'Heroes and Thieves', and 'Fools Like Me'.
I hope that this album is successful. Vanessa Carlton is my favorite artist, and I want her to be recording for years to come. Her honesty, inisghtful lyrics, and fresh piano-infused tracks all contribute to her uniqueness.
