Negative Positive
Title: A lackluster sophomore effort.
Review: I'm very disappointed. I had such hopes for this album-- I was infatuated with No Angel, Dido's first CD, when it came out. There were so many songs that had me addicted to her voice and melodies... But if you're hoping for another "Here With Me," "Don't Think Of Me" or "Take My Hand," you won't find it on Life For Rent.These songs seemed very lifeless to me. "White Flag" is dreamy enough for my tastes, but the other songs bored me, even the first time through. "Mary's In India" seems unfinished, or somehow under-constructed. Songs like "See You When You're 40" and "This Land Is Mine" are bland and similar-sounding. In fact, many songs on this album sound alike; not in a cohesive way, but in a tedious one.I really wanted to like this album, but it just isn't very worthy.
Is the review positive or negative?
