Title: Album Review Los Angeles Times
Post by: sarab on July 25, 2011, 08:03:12 pm

I did a yahoo search for Vanessa in hopes of getting her to trend there as well.  This is what popped up first thing.  I'm not a happy girl. >:(

Carlton’s lyrics, however, swing from endearingly honest to precious to occasionally clumsy, and the Coldplay-Snow Patrol-Elbow sonics start to feel repetitive well before the 10 songs run their course. She clearly wanted to craft a grand-scale melodic-pop opus, but she hasn’t delivered stories and emotions commensurate with the panoramic production work.

A BU bababa WHATT!!!?!? Some people will not know what music is... I better stop reading this before I shoot my computer  ;)

Yeah, the reviewer is awful. Why did they hire him if he cannot even write coherent thoughts.... "honest, to precious (??), to clumsy" that doesn't even make sense. Did he mean precocious?

The only lyrics that bother me are in "Get Good"
"It's been so long since powder soft serene" (makes no sense)

otherwise I like the lyrics!

Her explorations of love gone awry, of a woman in search of her place, are washed in strings that surround her own piano, treated to sound just out of tune enough to be atmospheric rather than annoying

...fffffffuuuuuu. >:(
