1.0 out of 5 stars The Music is Worse than the Title, September 3, 2005

By	Holden Caufield "Holden Caufield" (USA) - See all my reviews

One way trip? More like one trick pony. Make that NO trick pony. This is one of weakest representations of art I have ever been subjected to. Brettell is clearly mesmerized by her own voice - a voice which lacks clarity, depth, control, or range - and belts out one diarrhetic blast after another. Her voice ranges from flat to....flat, but being tone deaf - unfortunately - doesn't seem to hold Brettell back one bit. What Brettell lacks in vocal power she definitely does NOT make up for in writing abilities, as her songs are at once lyrically trite and musically grating - a stupifying combination. Brettell is either surrounded by Yes-men or people who intend to do her harm - this could be the only explanation for the team who allowed the recording of such mind-bendingly bad material.

5.0 out of 5 stars HONEST & FULL OF HEART, June 15, 2000

By	Cheryl Quintana Leader (Phoenix, AZ to Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

If life's a one way trip...this is certainly one cd you need to hear before journey's end. An engaging and delightfully infectious upbeat tempo on THE NA NA SONG...to a more intense, and haunting whisper of THREATENED and NO PLACE TO HIDE. With real honesty and an unwavering heart full of passionate sound, Brettell grooves with the lead vocals of a Queen's English songbird and a sweet blend of funk from its bassist bones! Eclectic...Energetic...and Electric! Such is life....one way or not...so, give it a listen!
