Title: The Coverage and Media Hype Is To Be Believed
Review: This is actually a terrific album. I listen to most of the songs at least every day. Of course there are a couple of duds ("Moonshadow", "One Way or Another") but then again I never liked the originals of those two. This is wonderfully compiled, and without another cheesy Beatles cover in sight. Tastefully recorded with a fresh song, this album is a staple for any true music fan. VERY different from her usual vibe, and hopefully a sound and direction that she will continue with. The only reason I give it less than a perfect rating is because they are recorded exactly like the originals, only it's Mandy Moore singing. In other words, she uses the same "Oohs" and "Yeahs!" as the original artists. If she had explored her own voice more and given the songs a more personal twist, it would be perfect. But it's pretty darn close as it is.
Is the review positive or negative?
