"Simple pop that established her brand and one of the most likeable pop acts today. Also, songs on here are the most suited to her voice. Almost like pop punk (but more on the pop side) a la Paramore"  Reply

"I've heard most of the singles of course, but my friend put this on today, and I didn't find it that bad surprisingly. 'Mean' & 'Glitter In The Air' are fairly good tracks."  Reply

"I understand if you find Noah, boring and uninteresting, but this album just makes me happy happy! This album tells us an amazing love story, which it doesn't exactly has a happy ending, its just music to relate to"  Reply

"Sans minimally-added drum fills, he doesn't really play an instrument except the computer and doesn't sing on this, so what really is his contribution? Am i liking the mix more because of the mix or more because of the mix choices? One thing i do know, and i did some looking around the internet, ..."  [+]  Reply

"After nearly a decade of working together, Vetusta Morla released their album which gained deserved recognition and success in Spain. Good pop-rock tunes with some inspiration by The Beatles and the first era Radiohead in clear and rich spanish. Listen to the title track and, if you like it, go f..."  [+]  Reply

"This was an unexpected joy. Even though there's nothing that really makes it different or musically perfect, it just hits all the marks. I love this album and rate it as their best. It's loaded with great tracks right through. Massively under rated in my opinion"  Reply

"I think the first two tracks on this album perfectly sum the rest up; “Serious” and “Funny”. The best comparison for Scars on Broadway is System of a Down, which figures seeing as 2/5ths of the bands make up come straight from System. That’s not to say they are identical, the liberal politics and..."  [+]  Reply
