The CD was exactly as described and was a valuable addition to my collection. It is such a shame that she has not released anything since.
Despite its somewhat polite, trip-hoppy surface, Dido Armstrong’s music frequently rests on a melancholy that can only be called courageous in the current pop world. Few singer-songwriters with 12 million record sales behind them would offer a single such as Life for Rent’s "White Flag," which is in part an apology for the "mess and destruction" the narrator has left with her lover. Emotions are even stickier on other tracks, with Dido’s Dusty-ish voice coolly sweeping through "Don’t Leave Home," one of the creepiest codependent-love songs since "Every Breath You Take," and in "Who Makes You Feel," ticking off a list of reasons why an affair is dying, while also admitting that she still loves the guy. It’s a hard-won romanticism, too, that pokes its head up in the tough-minded "This Land is Mine" and "Do You Have a Little Time" ("I’d like to hold you still/Remind you of all you’ve missed"). A knotty and rewarding album.Read full review
Voice of an angel with the looks to go with it. This is arguably Dido's best work and all the songs on this album sung live proved to be a real treat. The lyrics are right from the heart and you feel at one with Dido as you listen to her. If you like Dido, you've already got this album but if you haven't or you aren't sure, buy this album, you won't regret it.
this is a very good album for any one who likes the occasional chill out music - Dido has a lovely calming voice and i would recommend if maybe you like nora jones?! hope this helps anyways :)
