This is my absolute FAVORITE album of Sarah Fimm's. This album is so beautiful. Sarah is the perfect blend of Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos and Daughter Darling. Her soothing and ethereal vocals are so mezmerizing that once you put this cd in, it is hard to focus on anything other than her singing. The trip-hop influenced beats mesh well with Sarah's voice. This is definetly Sarah's most somber and elegant album. The music is all very lush and sad. My favorite songs are Walk Away, December, Orchids, Paradise, Be What You Wanna Be, Losing Velocity, Strange and Mercury. This is by far the BEST album I have purchased in a while. I am shocked at how beautiful it is! Do not pass up buying this...you will regret it!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Hypnotic, November 8, 2004

Hypnotic electronica-tinged piano balladry, with soft, beautiful vocals and instropective lyrics that hint at post 9/11 angst. Sarah Fimm has a perfect, downtempo soundtrack for the post-election blues. Perfect for fans of Tori Amos or Happy Rhodes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Astonishing album, October 3, 2005

Vocally she's like a blend of Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos, and something else. Lyrics are uniformily excellent, except for the slightly mediocre "Sky Is Falling Down", which seems too much like high-school poetry.

The following songs are just amazing from the standpoint of composition, lyrics, singing:

Losing Velocity
Mercury
Story of Us
Strange
Nexus
Be What You Wanna Be
Paradise
December

When was the last time a singer-songwriter issued out an album with 8 really great songs? The last I remember was Sarah McLachlan's 1997 magnum opus Surfacing. This may be Sarah Fimm's magnum opus, I don't see how she'll top this work, but given her age, she should have another great album in her. I'm surprised she's not gone multi-platinum yet. It just goes to show how important timing is, had this been released in 1998, she would have been a superstar. In the current music market, I don't know what you have to do to sell millions other then whore out like Brittney, Christina, etc..
