Oboro I was attracted by the jacket and listened to it, and it was so cool that I bought it. I want to listen to it on my day off. By the way, it has nothing to do with the CD, but I was surprised at the speed of the official response in a good way. Favorite track: Confessions of a Romance Novelist.

muschiosauro Rich, beautiful and deep art pop. Sure, as others have noticed, the Kate Bush feel runs sinuously throughout the album, but The Anchoress is not a sound-a-like by any means. Her creative talent is totally personal and shines manifoldly through the whole record, where brooding, almost gothic cuts neatly and intelligently coexist and mingle with both catchy mini-anthems and intimate ballads, in an always engaging mix of anger, languor, melancholy and joy. Favorite track: Confessions of a Romance Novelist.

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) A gifted singer-songwriter with an excellent voice - that's a great combination. "The Anchoress" aka Catherine AD aka Catherine Anne Davies teams up here with Paul Draper of "Mansun" to create a series of classy art rock songs. In my opinion, the album's middle section from "Popular" to "Waiting To Breathe", following a bit in the footsteps of Tori Amos, is the best part, with "Bury Me" marking the peak. Favorite track: Bury Me.

stevenpoore Already an outstanding debut album in its own right, the Paul Draper touches are merely gilding the lily. Long may Catherine run! Favorite track: You and Only You.
