Rabbits on the Run (2011)
Vanessa Carlton
Reviewed by Mikael Wood | Jul 20, 2011

EW's GRADE B+

DETAILS

Release Date: Jul 26, 2011; Lead Performance: Vanessa Carlton; Genre: Pop; Production: Razor & Tie


Nearly 10 years after her inescapable debut single ''A Thousand Miles,'' Carlton is still working the same delicate vocals and pretty piano riffs, as evidenced on this collection of ethereal, Starbucks-ready ballads.

The 10 tracks from Rabbits on the Run fall into two categories: songs solidly within her patented brand of Enya-leaning pop (see: whimsical stunner ''Carousel,'' the album's lead single) and those that sound like modernized Gregorian chants (the celestial ''In the End''). The effect, however, is rarely divisive; instead it conjures up a lovely sort of melancholy magic. B+

Okay..... B+ that's alright... lol. But I think it's probably better... I hope...

Music criticism used to be cool.  Somewhere along the way, it degenerated into meaningless hyperbole and half of the time it's impossible to tell whether the reviewer liked the album or not.  The other half of the time, I think they're trying to impress us with how well they use an online thesaurus.

Still, I'll take a good review.....is that what that was?  Ha ha.
