Negative Positive
Title: Listen to the cuts first
Review: I bought this CD on the strength of hearing Ms. Melua sing "The Closest Thing to Crazy" on the Craig Ferguson Show. She was backed by a three piece and the stripped down, sultry effect sent chills up my spine. HOWEVER, upon getting the CD,it is a fully orchestrated, over produced piece of crap. Most of the songs are OK and you can see the potential, but the producer should be shot. It is not at all what I expected and is gathering dust in a cabinet. I have resolved to never buy another CD without sampling the tracks. Lesson learned.
Is the review positive or negative?
