4.0 out of 5 stars Tanya's back!, January 13, 2002

Although I miss the pop fizzy sounds of her previous work,(especially her belly years) her song writing is stronger than ever and her ability to write songs that float through your brain all day and leave a smile on your face keeps me buying everything she puts out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alternative Country?, January 24, 2002

As we age, our tastes can change. I don't feel like "rocking out" as often as I used to. Some of my peers have lost interest in music and have wound up listening to oldies compilations and background music. As an aging punk and new wave rocker, I enjoyed much of the so-called alternative movement. I require fresh, honest music with an edge. I could never "sell out" and spend my time listening to oldies, easy listening, or the fluff and tripe that passes for modern country music. I am a huge Belly and Tanya Donelly fan and some of those songs are my all time favorite rockers. Slow Dog, Seal My Fate, Pretty Deep, and so many more are like modern rock classics to me. My favorite Tanya song is The Bees, live version. The songs on Beautysleep move me much like The Bees does. Subtle pedal steel guitars, piano, and other alternative country flourishes are the obvious additions to Tanya's more mature, and richer, artistic palette. Tanya, along with Frank Black and Jay Farrar, gives me the best hope of a plentiful supply of fresh, intelligent, emotional, honest, and real music as I mature. Oh yeah, she still rocks, too.

3.0 out of 5 stars interesting, as always, April 9, 2002

As a teaser for the new album [Beautysleep], one could think there would be a better track to pick than "The Storm," like "The Wave" or The Night You Saved My Life", but this about the bonus tracks, isn't it?

"After Your Party" is a nice little waltz about a girl waiting for some man who "might" drop by after his own party and reflecting on expectations and the stories we tell ourselves. "Days of Grace" is a nice upbeat piece, a shameful ommission from the album or a song that could have been a non album single itself, even if it is a little twangy and might have needed a little tweeking for radio play. "Last Rain" also would have fit the album very nicely, a more relaxed, floating song.

If you're a Donelly fanatic you're going to buy it anyway. Is it worth the price? Probably.
