5.0 classic | Activista anti-MTV | August 26th 11 | Regina Spektor is one of the few artists that truly inspires -- whether it be inspiration for hope (as in "Chemo Limo") or love (as in "Us"). Spektor is beyond pale in the tracks listed, but she stumbles elsewhere on this album, which may adversely affect some listener's interpretations of this album. Spektor plays music on the piano, but she writes her music for the soul. For me this record is excellent but it is without a legitimate comparison.

5.0 classic | vmcoia91 | April 13th 11 | Regina Spektor seems like a pretty cool chick and I think it shows a lot in her music. Especially in her album, which is also her undisputed masterpiece, "Soviet Kitsch". Her lyrics don't really make a lot of sense most of the time and it seems like she just wrote about a bunch of words down and threw them together into song. I think that's what makes this album work so well. It's not generic and listening to it I can tell Regina had a fun time writing and making this beautiful music. While her lyrics are all over the map her piano playing is wildly addicting and it adds another dimension to her music. The piano line in the song Us is one of my favorites of all time and it can almost bring me to tears. Especially after watching the movie "(500) Days of Summer." Other standouts include Ghost of Corporate Future and Ode to Divorce. The fact is this album is phenomenal and makes every second of its 39 minute run time count.

4.0 excellent | April123 | January 9th 08 | Doesnt' hit immediately as being amazing, but after a few listens, you really get into it. If you're a beginner to R.S. and buy this, you may not get it. It might sound like a more random/joking style album. However after awhile you begin to appereciate the humorous sounding parts because they are a lot more serious than first realized.
Carbon Monoxide, Us, and Chemo Limos, and The Ghost.., are the best tracks in my opinon.
Regina's story telling skills are amazing and deep.
