Sixpence must definitely be Richer..., January 19, 2000
You must buy this album, because it is damn worth it. I bought it only having listened to "Kiss Me" before. I put it in my CD player, and it still is in my CD player. It starts off with a continuous three-piece song, beautifully linked together in the most ingenious way. It goes deep into your thoughts, making you think about past experiences - before "I Can't Catch You", I had already thought about my ex-girlfriend, my family, my college life, my future, my... To me, "I Can't Catch You" is definitely the standout track on this album. Equal to this is "Sister, Mother", where Leigh Nash's voice really develops to unbelievable heights. This is an album to think about if you're ready to think about the past, the present, the future. If you like songs with a deep meaning, then this is the album for you...

Sad that all you people want is a single!, December 6, 1999
i have read all of the reviews here, and i am quite honestly appalled. i keep reading one-star reviews saying "Kiss Me is great but no other songs on here are like it. they all need to be like 'Kiss Me.'" could you people BE more shallow? i have been a fan of sixpence for years, and this is easily their best album. the textures are rich and engaging, the hooks are delicate yet very catchy, and the arrangements intricate and fascinating. the fact that the songs are esoteric and different is a GOOD thing, people. why should a talented band make music that is stupid just so they can appeal to you. i have a feeling half of these reviews of this type (if not all) are by those same giggling little junior high people who loved "Kiss Me" just because it was catchy. it's a great song--a GREAT song--but all of you need to learn to THINK about music. which is what this album is about--thinking and feeling. buy the album and expand your heart and mind a little.

An alternative pop classic, December 20, 1999
Sixpence None the Richer is incredible!I listen to a lot of other music styles like alternative,punk,ska,and some metal,but I still love this disc!All you people who think this cd is bad(or "weird")are just mindless people who bought it for "Kiss Me"(fess up,you know exactly who you are),or don't know music when you hear it.Don't get me wrong,I hated "Kiss Me"until I heared the whole album.Now I love it!Every single song is awesome,though two outstanding songs are "Kiss Me" and "There She Goes".The only song I ever skip is "The Lines of My Earth"(which is still a great song).This is on my top ten best "christian" cds list,one of the very few that I will lable "perfect".Dark but uplifting,Sixpence None the Richer is made up of a rich and well textured style of music with rythmic but subtlely grinding guitars coupled with a miriad of other instrements.Their alterna-pop sound can easily compete with a number of bands in the secular music industry.Anyone who loves good music should love this disc.
