Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Before she became a recording sensation and a dyed-in-the-wool member of the Lilith Fair sisterhood (thanks to her 1996 Everywoman anthem, Bitch), Oregon-born Meredith Brooks was an aspiring rocker plying her trade with a variety of Northwestern bands. She tried her hand at recording in 1984, though the results were never released. Not until 1997, that is, when mercenary forces who owned the tapes hoped to cash in on Brooks's sudden rise to the top, releasing "See It Through My Eyes" against her wishes. The album is an artifact of flashy '80s pop--think Pat Benatar, Quarterflash, and Scandal--and would have held its own back then had it been given a proper chance. Today though, songs like "Video Idol," "Company Man," and "Who's Fooling Who" merely sound dated. Sometimes success is just a bitch. --Daniel Durchholz

Let's face it: The 1980's music scene was filled with many identical albums by different people. Meredith Brooks fit right in with this album. Unfortunately, it was released after Blurring the Edges, so it didn't get the appreciation it deserved during the eighties. Meredith fans should definitely buy this album. It is great for parties. If you are looking for Meredith Brooks on a five star level then you need to buy "Blurring the Edges." Meredith Brooks is one of the greatest singers and guitarists working today, and this album allows for fans to see her transition into the "Bitch" she is today.

Let me be the First to say,I Did'nt know Meredith ad it in her. It's Amazing Hearing this album compared to her other work. See, im only 19 years old and wise enough to know that when an artist does something alternative to themselves you have to view it as "Someone you hav'nt heard before" then everything turns out great. I can see why everyone hates this CD, Two reasons, Either you hate 80's music or you just wont except this coming from somone you expect somethign totally different. Don't listen to it as Meredith,Listen to it as a hot 80's Record and you'll be pleased. I most definatley am trilled by the hot get-up-and-dance-pop-Guitars of "LOOK", The cute-sy beat of "JESSICA" and most of all the ballad "SEE IT THROUGH MY EYES" the title track. How fun is that?

GOES TO SHOW YOU HOW WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT TASTE. I REALLY WOULD BE MISSING OUT IF I WENT BY THESE REVIEWS. Also if you love this album. Check out SHANIAH TWAINS LIMELITE SESSIONS! it's the exact same as "SEE IT THROUGH MY EYES". it has her early work. OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN fans LOOK NO FURTHER!!!!!!!!!!!

If you love Meredith Brooks music like I do, you do not want this album.
If you actually enjoyed the 80's MTV pop era, you might.
