Say what you want to say about her, but this CD is absolutely amazing!

It's awful.
Bland, boring and devoid of any personality.

I tried to listen to it when it was available for a first listen on iTunes, but I got sort of bored a few songs in.
I love Cannonball, but haven't listened to the rest, as I'd intended to. Oops.
You aren't going to get a positive discussion re: Lea Michele on this board ever soooo maybe discuss on a Glee board? lol
While I agree that getting a fair and balanced thread about LM on here is not gonna happen, I must say that I honestly gave her album a chance. I listened to it twice on itunes and confess that I actually wanted to like it.
But whatever my personal feelings about her may be, her song selection was sub-par and she simply wasn't able to add the "something" to them which would have raised them above mediocre.

Yes - Amazingly loud , amazingly bad!
I listen to a lot of pop but it's just not a good pop album. "My heart's too drunk to drive..". The songs aren't right for her voice. I like her mostly but this direction was the wrong way to take her, she's not a pop star.

She knows that expectations would be high for her music. It just wasn't very commercial in my opinion. Battlefield was the best song in my opinion.

I know it's popular to rag on her but overall I really enjoyed the cd. Battlefield, Cue The Rain, Thousand Needles, and Empty Handed are all gems IMO. I think it's a nice debut effort and she sounds so beautiful. Her next cd will be better I think.

I hoped against hope it was The Breeders' "Cannonball".
I hope her next album is influenced by her baby, like Madonna's "Ray of Light" was.
