Format:Audio CD
Overall, this is a good album. Fans of Erin McKeown will notice the sound is closer to Grand than to Distillation - more pop and less funk. If that's your thing then add another half star. I think Distillation was her best work, so I have to deduct a few points from this album's overall score.

But, there is a lot to enjoy here. Erin's voice is pleasant and inspiring - it has that distinctive timber all good storytelling voices have. As always, the lyrics are imaginative and thought-provoking.

As I said, this is a good album but, when compared to Erin's earlier work, not a great album. Still, it's always good to hear from this talented artist.

"it's beautiful, i guess" August 30, 2005
Format:Audio CD
I recieved this for my birthday today, and so far i'm having a great time with it! Very upbeat album. Made a great soundtrack, as i ran around the city today. "White city" and "Bells and Bombs" have a great "strut" to them.

I've known of Erin for a long time, and distilation was a great album.... but i'm not dissapointed by this one at all. It still has a good vibe that grows with you every listen.

I could kick myself for not seeing her here in Seattle last week. Her "stylings" are even more impressive live.

High Concept September 11, 2005
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Erin McKeown's remarkable "We Will Become Like Birds" is a concept album, of sorts. And the concept is flight.

Erin's vibrato-free alto is as superb as it was with the jazzier "Grand" (this one's more pop), and her intelligent lyrics would have won approval from the likes of Cole Porter and Lorenz Hart.

Highlights are the anthemic "Aspera," with its Latin motto, the poppy "To the Stars," the dramatic "White City," and the absolutely to die for "Delicate December."

A must have.

to the stars....
Erin Mckeown's references to Judy Garland are a little more understated in this album than the last (grand), yet they are still there if you listen close! Read more

Just good tunz.
great album with mix of well-written tunz. Could listen to White City on repeat for my whole commute. Lots of fun and a unique voice.

Flying (fairly) High
This is easily Erin McKeown's tightest and most coherent album. It flows consistently throughout and every song is good. Read more
