Well I knew this would probably come up, so I guess I was mentally prepared for it. Snivelling, nasal, beige elevator muzak that's not even slightly hard hitting. This is the sort of fake folk music that I imagine middle class people had in their collection for show, but would never actually play, because let's face facts, it's incredibly lifeless and dull. The lyrics are an exercise in mundanity; how to skirt around issues without actually suggesting any solution or even spelling out what the real problem is. "We're all angry! Why? Because babies die, that's why!". It's like something a four-year old would come up with. I even find it annoying that Wikipedia has this down as the wrong musical genre. This is pop, maybe folk-pop if I'm being generous. It's definitely not folk-rock, contemporary-folk, or roots-rock. There's also some nasty synth sounds thrown in here and there, but let's ignore that, or we'll start categorising this as synth-wave. There might have been a couple of half catchy melodies here, but excessive radio play soon dealt with that. The non-hit songs aren't even filler, they're just plain awful. If I ever had to hear this dross again, it would be too soon.
Not my thing, sorry Tracy
Did not enjoy
This is definitely not my cup of tea - so forgive me my rating. Tracy has a charismatic voice and at the time the songs at least stood out of the usual chart shit. Still nothing I would listen to again - and to be honest I didn't listen to the full album, just did short a recap of the hit singles ...
Not a fan of this one. Was huge when I was a teenager so maybe it stems from that.
Alltid syntes Fast Car e sånn passe irriterande
Iconic voice, but "oh wow is me" lyrics. Not inspiring, to me
Fucking ass tryhard corny
Singer-songwriters are really not for me.
All preach, no fun.
No thank you
This sounds like something a Feminist Studies professor at Smith College would make.
She's talented but not 4 m3
Clearly not 'bad'... but the music didn't do it for me
Not for me Clive
Love this album, "Mountain O' Things" is probably my fav track
