Music is good, but lyrics are really trite - all cliches about following your dreams,
united we stand, etc.. If they'd have recorded it in Finnish and I hadn't understood the
words, I'd have given it an extra half-star. |

| There are some pretty bits and pieces here. But the songs are mediocre and very loosely structured, and her voice is aggressively unpleasant when she takes off into her high range, which she seems to do on almost every song. |

| Here's my issue: The singer has a nice voice, the songs are kind of quiet and pretty. But somebody made the decision, "We're gonna record it really RAW, I want to hear her fingers on the fretboard." So they have her hands mic'd so loud that half the time it sounds like she's scratching up and down the strings with a chainsaw. It completely distracts you from the music. Grr! |
