Review title: 2-3 good songs, lots of filler
Product review: I really like Regina Spektor's voice and her piano playing. The first song, "Fidelity", reeled me in. That song is just addictive, and along with "Better" and "Hotel Song", has great hooks and recognizable song structure.However, she seriously needs to work on her songwriting. The rest of the CD sounds like she sat down at the piano and made up the songs as she went along - not a good thing. They often sound like she's not sure what to do with the song but just keeps on making stuff up until she reaches the 3- or 4-minute mark. Meandering, changing course, it's self-indulgent and not that interesting. (Don't even get me started on the bonus EP.) Definitely not a CD you can listen to over and over each day.I want to LOVE Regina Spektor, I really do, but she needs to reign in her self-indulgence and work on crafting actual songs. Once she's got that down, she will rule.
