This album was my travel companion for a trip some years back and listening to it again is bittersweet nostalgia. Especially when my travel companion has gone to heaven.
Dido, not just for chicks who drink chardonnay

I've always had Dido's hits on my iPod but always a little shamefully as if indulging in sweet dessert. As a forty-something straight guy, I've been loath to admit that a "pop" singer so beloved of younger ladies might be a seriously talented musician. Well, she is, if this album is any indication. The songs are perfectly crafted, melody, the lyrics.. I dare say Beatlesque in certain high moments.. These are songs for grown ups who've loved and lived.

I'm not a huge dido fan but I even admit her first two albums were ok if a little depressing in content. This album takes it to a whole other level. My mum used to play this on the sunniest of days and it would depress me. This album is hardly music, every song is the same quiet, woe-is-me, my life is a dead end street- garbage. The production is hardly breathtaking either- over produced flat drum synths that a 4-year old could improve on. This album is love or hate. A few people love it, but a lot of people don't. Don't buy this album if you understand that a positive headspace is key in feeling good about life and this album will most likely pull you out of it.
Amazing Voice

She's got such a great voice, but it seems she's not properly using it. She can do allot more than this, but she is stuck in the same, old, and depressive state. I am very surprised, by the fact she hasn't committed suicide. she needs to write something happy, lighten the mood, and become the star that i know she can become, she is a star but she is one star standing among many. She can become more and should not settle.
If you like Dido...You will Love this Album

It is different from her past albums, however after a few listens most of the tracks are now some of my favorites.
Disappointing... I expected more

I'm a huge Dido fan and would rate her first two albums among my absolute all-time favorites, however this album just doesn't compare. There is a definite emotional gap on this one... the angst, desperation, revenge, loneliness, passion etc. that rang so true on the first two albums is simply not there this time around. Neither are the fantastic ambient sounds that were so ever-present on "Life for Rent." Perhaps she needs some personal turmoil to spur her anger, lust, and such to generate another amazing album? Looking forward to moving onwards from this one...
It grows on you

I was expecting to be blown away at first listen when I bought this album - I didn't like it at first! But, it grew on me - like all Dido songs have in the past. I fell in love with literally every single song after a few rotations of my stereo. I can't stop listening to it, and I include at least one song from this record on every mix I make. It's an album that has permanent staying power, not just a passing fad. I love Dido and I love this record! salute!
I just wanna thank you.

Artists grow and Dido has. It's defiantly not like the first two albums here. It has it's own flavor. An acquired taste. All I can say is that I want another album. She is a true artist who's art I can never get enough of. Thank you Dido. Can't wait till your next.
Makes a nice Dido trilogy

Ok so I read a lot of the reviews before getting this album. I was worried about the depressing tone and the lack of a "single" worthy track. However my experience has been quite different. Is it low key? Of course it's Dido, she's not know for really anything but that, and in my opinion it is one of her more upbeat albums. I mean Christ, the last half of No Angel goes into some pretty dark territory. This album has some wonderful and mature songs on it, some of my favorite. It only took one listen through for me to feel a certain affection for all of the songs. I don't know, to me it just seems so fitting and really gives a nice contrast to both No Angel and Life for Rent (both of which I liked btw) So my recommendation for Dido fans, if you bought her previous two albums and enjoyed them you owe it to yourself to at least get it to form your own opinion.
