I've been an enormous fan of Ms. Rogers' since I first discovered her in January, at a show no less. Every release of hers blows me away, her songwriting talent is just unheard of for someone so young. Such amazing vocals, so hushed and sincere. I found this EP by nothng short of a miracle (at a Hastings in the middle of Kansas. Craziness.) and promptly threw my body at it. It completed my collection, though honestly, that's about all it really did for me. The three originals were decent, but recorded sporadically and in pieces over periods of up to several years, and the final product shows it. (Maybe it doesn't help that it was mixed on a tour bus during Warped Tour over the summer?) Lyrically each song is up to par, but each song simple suffers from unevenness of production. The covers certainly are interesting, especially the opening "1980," originally by At the Drive-In. But there just isn't enough to this record to make me feel it was truly worth it to even release, and this from a die-hard fan. A few more songs would have been nice, five songs at nineteen minutes just felt stunted.

Moral - solid songwriting cannot overcome poor producing and recording techniques!

Amanda Rogers' latest EP, 'Something Borrowed, Something Blue', will only leave you wanting more. Her three previously unreleased originals, and two revamped cover songs, prove her continual growth as a singer/songwriter. Looking forward to hearing what she's cooking up next...
