I first saw Kari in the movie 'Anaconda', but at the time had no idea who she was. Then, she joined the cast of 'Sliders'. Having been a fan of 'Sliders' from the start, I figured "oh...new girl...she'll ruin the show, or something like that..." I was wrong! Now I am a HUGE fan of Kari Salin-Wuhrer. When I first saw her CD, I knew I would get it, but I listened to the song clips anyway...they were great! Now, I own the CD...and I love it! "Better Off" is just a totally AWESOME song! I also like "Normal" and "Can't Cope"...and Kari's remake of "Come and Get It" is just GREAT! We have a truly talented actress, model, and singer here, and I hope she pursues her singing career, as she has her acting career! This woman is as pretty as she is talented, and I would buy her next album, if she made one, and I sincerely hope that she does. I suggest that you buy the 'Shiny' album, because it is a great CD, and it rocks!

Kari is not only a talented actress,but a spine-tingling singer as well!.Her album is like one big roller coaster ride.There are songs that speak to your heart and soul that either make you happy or sad,there are also songs that are so sensual that they turn you to putty in Kari's hands.Her voice is so angelic,that you spiral into another world,and once your there there's no turning back!.All the songs on this album are amazing,but my personal favorite is BETTER OFF.I'm glad to know that there are at least some fans out there,it intrigues me to think of all the infinate possibilities that the world could offer her if there were more.I'm dying for a release of her next album! .Kari,if you're out there please dont give up your passion for music,music is my greatest passion and without you it would be missing one of it's greatest assets! .

Kari is an exceptionally beautiful woman, and I've always appreciated that.

Kari's 10-year show biz resume is nothing more than showing off her pretty face and great body, and I purchased this CD because I expected it to be laugh-out-loud awful. The joke's on me -- it's better than that.

Kari doesn't have the strongest voice, but it is kind of pretty and she has nothing to be ashamed of here. The songs are lightweight, but that is probably the exact marketing niche her producers were looking for.

I will listen to this from time to time, and probably buy her next CD.

As some mentioned before, I first noticed Kari in "Sliders", which airs in the Netherlands for 18 months now. She is indeed a very pretty woman. So I started searching the web on info about her and found out she made a CD. I listened to it and bought it right away. It had everything I like in music. Nice rocky songs, complimented with 3 super balads with great lyrics. I especially enjoyed Take Me Now and Better Off.

Take this woman seriously, as I believe (and hope) we will here more from her.

If I had to discribe "Shiny" I said it's the writing style of Alanis Morissette with the rock n' roll performance of Pat Benatar. Rock and Roll and Pop. The album was mixed by a genius. Bealtes/George Martin Sgt. Pepper like quality to it. Dynamic and good sound stage, a rarity in todays releases. It's in HDCD there's a difference. Not tone deaf like half of A.M. Jagged Little Pill or DMB Everday.
Pyschodelic tape loops, reverse organ and drums in the background. Properly executed backing vocals and dead on timing.

"Better Off" the last song piano/vocal. Elton John and Shina Twain sort of sound. But a again with tragic lyric style of Alanis. Proof that she can sing. None of that 95% reverb and Eventide that Brittney needs. Real voice. "Come And Get It" McCartney cover given to Badfinger, she does it justice, no blasphemy here.

Kari is one of those talented artists whose abilities extend in so many ways, you are able to get a fuller sense of who she really might be. Hearing her music was first off, a charming inspiration, since I developed a little crush on her after watching "Kate's Addiction", her lesbian film. But by no means does she depend on her acting to be a music star. Her voice is so sweet and relaxed, comparable, I suppose, to The Cardigans. Knowing also that few people have listened to this, makes this collection feel all the more special, although I think this is just the beginning,and that she will soon surprise us with an even fuller taste of the music from her heart.

I am a huge fan of Kari Wuhrer the actress, and now after hearing her new album, I'm a huge fan of Kari the musician. Karis' sensous vocals bring life to every song! I highly recommend this album! :o) I hope this is the first of many albums for the talented Kari Wuhrer!

Can I say what a change it is to hear a artist who writes her own material. She's old enough to drink, isn't blond, doesn't need digital voice effects and is a great actress as well. 10 wonderful alternate pop songs that are about emotions and issues in our lifes, not just about having a crush on a boy.

This singer is better known for her acting, but she has a good sense of music. While genuinely rock infused, this album also has a touch of trip hop and new wave. And though she doesn't have outstanding singing skills, her sensual voice has a lot of feel and flow to it. It's really too bad that she didn't get more attention, because this is good stuff. If you are a fan of Tori Amos or Sophie B. Hawkins, you would probably enjoy Kari Wuhrer.
