... and over-produced but does get better in the second half. "The Calculation" opens the album and moves along at a decent rate with nice lyrics, lyric-less vocals at the end are a nice touch but the track isn't anything special. This is really the same for "Folding Chair" and "Eet" as well. In a way, they feel to me just like they could be any old pop song. Perhaps the biggest disappointments though were "Blue Lips", which she performed on Jools Holland's show a few months ago ...more

Far - Regina Spektor: Good album, but over produced (872 words)

I pre-ordered this album after hearing about it's release, then the website I ordered it from had "supplier issues" meaning I had to wait even longer to get it. In the mean time I checked out some of her live performances, most notably Glastonbury on the BBC's site. This contained a mixture of old and new songs and judging from it I though the album was going to be brilliant. Very lyrical, slightly bizarre and intense in places with solid piano based tunes. When it did arrive, my first impressions weren't as good as I was hoping for. After listening to it several more times this has solidified my position. Many of her original fans claim that she ...

Over-rated braying artist! (325 words)

I've already stated my opinion for this artist on her first album but it was the music on her most recent album "Far" that I first had the chance to listen to. She all seems very over-rated in my view and fits in to the sole artist with a piano and a slightly jazzy voice category only with a quirky Russian New York accent thrown in to the mix. Overall, I don't particularly dig this sound which I find wishy washy and in some cases a bit morosely self-indulgent, it's the kind of music that people happily wile away the day listening to but it's got no get up and go about it whatsoever. There are two things that draw me to the artist and ... Read the complete review

Regina Spektor's newest album "Far" is one of those collections that as soon as you listen to it, you'll say "ah, yes, that's her, alright"! This is a good thing, since Spektor's fans would want nothing less. That it's June 23, 2009 release found it shooting straight to #3 on the Billboard Top 200 for album sales in the USA (that means that more than 49,999 other people besides me bought it in the first week), certainly attests to her popularity, which for someone as unique as Spektor is no small achievement. Even so, initial reviews are all over the place with the positive ones interspersed with disparaging critiques that range from accusing her of ... Read the complete review
