5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT MUSIC -- WITH ATTITUDE!, April 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Patty Smyth (Audio CD)

I bought this CD on the strength of the two singles, "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough" and "No Mistakes", but the rest of the album is just as good, if not better. This CD projects much of the same attitude as Sheryl Crow's self-titled scorcher: tough, jaded, and suspicious on the outside, but softer under the surface.

Whether rejoicing in love's beginnings ("River of Love"), or mourning its end ("Sometimes", "I Should Be Laughing"), Smyth leaves no doubt that she's a tough cookie who is more than capable of kicking your butt. The highlight of the album, in fact, is "My Town", an in-your-face declaration of pride in her New York City roots.

Like all great albums, this one flows seamlessly from one great song to another, weaving together different aspects of Smyth's persona into a musical tapestry. Yes, the album is somewhat over-produced -- a little more rawness would have made it even better. But overall, this is an excellent piece of work that begs the question, "When are you going to go back into the studio, Patty?"

5.0 out of 5 stars Patty's best solo album, August 19, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Patty Smyth (Audio CD)

This follow-up to "Never Enough" leaves you wanting more of Patty Smyth. "Out There" and "Shine" will rock your socks off, while "No Mistakes" will make you want to lie back, close your eyes, and just take in that incredible voice.

5.0 out of 5 stars no mistakes here, August 23, 1998

Smyth delivered a long-awaited comeback knockout with this collection of rockers and pop gems. "I should be laughing" and "No mistakes" are highlights as is the hit duet w/Don Henley "Sometimes love just ain't enough". A great release from an artist who's material is hard to come by.
