Title: why do people like this album?
Review: When I first saw this CD I figured it was guys buying it for the cover-art and her pretty face, and lo and behold it WAS men buying this at the local CD shop, last time I went. So I thought, what the hell, maybe this is good.It's not listenable. I cut my teeth on Tori Amos back in the day, and tolerated Fiona Apple's debut, and I am a great fan of the piano and of anyone who can play and sing with accompaniment, but this CD really [stinks]. She sings like she's trying out for an Annie revival, like she's trying to prove herself (even worse), and like she has attitude. I've sat through this CD twice and every time think to myself "Who cares?" I don't.Don't take my word for it, it looks like everyone who's reviewed this here really liked it, but it strikes me as strident, amateurish, self-important and extremely immature. Even Alanis at her most immature and amateurish sounds better than this.
Is the review positive or negative?
