What is wrong with the review? He says very complimentary things like: "Will someone just give her a record deal, already?"
That's very positive.
"I tend to not enjoy Shannon's music when it's upbeat and happy-sounding."
-just remove the word Shannon and there's my general feeling that I share with many, many listeners and lovers of music.
I haven't heard the CD, so reading the review makes it sound like something I would definitely want to listen to. It doesn't discourage me at all.
We all love Harmonium, and that got some shitty reviews, even though we think it's brilliant. Welcome to the world of art.
