Reviews (page 14 of 14)

I was so incredibly bored by this that I couldn't even finish. I skipped through the last seven tracks listening to excerpts and it was all so generic and dull. No energy, lyrics didn't strike me as particularly interesting or clever. 0 stars should be an option for albums such as this.

Boring!!! Repetitive vocals!!! Sleepy piano throughout the whole thing!!! Never want to hear again. Zero stars.

I can pretty much never say this woman’s name without an expletive in the middle. She is the Lighthouse Family on beta blockers. Boring Bland Beige Bleagh! I will not be coming away with you, I will be hotfooting it away from you quicksmart!

The only song I recognized was a Hank Williams cover, and the whole album had a coffee shop, soft jazz vibe that wasn’t my tea.

Total musical boredom…. 1. Don’t Know Why - really apt question for this album - you ask yourself that 14 times 2. Seven Years - how long this album felt and how many years it took off my life 3. Cold Cold Heart - the core of the production team and record label who released this 4. Feelin’ The Same Way - not sure I’ll ever feel the same again 5. Come Away With Me - only if you promise to never sing anything from this album 6. …Shoot The Moon - if this album was the moon I’d be unleashing my entire arsenal on it. Then asking NATO to borrow more weapons 7. Turn Me On - by turning this off 8. Lonestar - incredibly I prefer Charlie from Busted 9. I’ve Got To See You Again - I hope not 10. Painter Song - Kevin Painter would make a better album 11. One Flight Down - I can only assume the pilots were listening to this 12. Nightingale - I’d rather spend a night in Gail Platt than listen to this again 13. The Long Day Is Over - totally misleading and really disappointing when you find out there’s another track to come 14. The Nearness Of You - I’ve told you before, don’t come near me

Alldeles för långt album. Inte min stil så orkade bara lyssna på 5-6 låtar.

Mitähän kaikki 400 miljoonaa Spotifyn käyttäjää ovat kuulleet Don't Know Why -rutiinivedossa? Ok, Come Away With Me on erittäin toimivaa laulelua. Mutta harva taitaa päästä levyn loppuun saakka.

Perhaps the most "Not for me" album in this book

Still as dull as ever

Boring

Dull in 2002. Dull now.

Come Away With Me is - wait what? Okay so apparently Norah Jones is Ravi Shankar’s daughter. How was I not aware of this? Probably because I’ve never took the time to listen to her music before. Whatever that’s kind of weird. Anyway, Come Away With Me is bland, uninteresting, and generic. Seriously, there’s not a single song I can even point out as anything. It’s just generic, unremarkable vocal jazz. You know what? I was going to give it a 2, but I talked myself into a 1 for just how boring it is. None of these songs are painful to listen to, to but it’s just a time-waster as an album.

A bit bland

boring, not enough dynamic contrast to keep me interested. Obviously great performances (especially vocally), very emotive songwriting. This is just not my cup of tea. Album is also too long (14 tracks??) Notable songs: Come Away With Me, Cold Cold Heart, Turn Me On, I've Got To See You Again, Nightingale, The Nearness of You

Boring. Couldn't listen to it. Pretty voice, though.

1/5. I will be honest i liked the first song then it just lost it for me. It was kinda whiny and just not the best

In the depths of my misery I checked to see how much of this was left; I lost all hope when I saw I was not yet halfway through.

If I was on a business trip and had a layover in Houston, this sounds like what would be playing in the lobby of the Marriot.

Don’t understand why anyone would want to listen to this. Soft soppy bullshit

I had a full review drawn up already where I rhetorically asked how this deathly boring muzak garbage somehow made its way out of the hotel lobby circuit and into the public's living rooms, but Wikipedia answered the question: she's Ravi Shankar's daughter, just doesn't use his name. Turns out she even has a few artist siblings who used his surname and didn't make it. Very clever - until 10min ago I'd always thought her success was inexplicably organic. Oh, and the album is 90% covers. 1/5.

Nothing explicitly bad, but nothing. Nothing. It's probably the most boring album I've heard in my life. Always the same volume, the same tones, the same tempo and somewhat empty & generic lyrics. I can't believe this was a hit and a milestone of the 2000s.

Should come with a warnig. Do not drive a car or handle opperate havy machinery while litening to this album. I almost fell asleep.

Album z gatunku 15 minut przesluchane, a juz chce sie lulac, a tu jeszcze pol godziny do konca, come away with me jest debiutanckim krazkiem pani Norah Jones, ktora wyglada na to jest dosc popularna artystka biorac pod uwage ilosc grammy ktore nakradla, wiec niby kojarze nazwisko, choc bardziej imie, ale muzyka nic mi nie mowi, tak samo wyglada to po przesluchaniu tej plyty, bo jest to generyczny pop pisany przez x ludzi, produkowany przez kolejne x, wyspiewane przez ladny glos, czyli recepta na mainstreamowy sukces, znalazlo sie na liscie, wiec chyba dziala, tak samo z czescia instrumentalna plyty, ktora kolysze czlowieka do snu, sama pani Jones gra glownie klawisze, reszta natomiast to muzycy sesyjni, ktorych mozna naliczyc z 13, wiec kazdy trak ma niby cos swojego, a jednak brzmia tak podobnie, na plejke listowa dodam openingowego dont know why, ale rownie dobrze moglby to byc kazdy kawalek tak ciezko o wyrazne roznice pomiedzy piosenkami, z pewnoscia to nie moj gatunek, ale gdy po przesluchaniu albumu dostalem polecane utwory na podstawie tej plyty, to o wiele lepiej sie sluchalo bez rozumienia liryki francuzkich kawalkow, tak samo mam z hinskimi trakami z tego co zauwazylem, ale przynajmniej juz wiem z czym sie je pania Norah Jones

I'm fully confident that enough people like and buy enough Norah Jones albums that my opinion will make not one jot of difference, and neither it should, because she's clearly doing what she loves and has made an album she's really proud of. That said, I'd rather stick my head in a bucket of fireworks than go through this again.

if i never had to listen to norah jones ever again it would still be too soon
