 Lazy May 29, 2008
1 out of 6 found this review helpful
There must be a dirth of singing talent..this is ok but so lazy. Most girls under the age of 14 can reproduce the mouthy noise that appears to be taken for 'singing' and Winehouse does not need to become the Whine-house she is here. The girl's got talent but she uses it with slack skill. Time to go back to school Amy. I'll listen to you when you've grown up and decided to entertain with your singing instead of gargling that whine.
 Classic from the best musician alive today April 26, 2008

After waiting a long while I finally bought this album. It's incredible. As others have said, the music has a 50's and 60's feel but the lyrics and style are bang up-to-date. Amy's voice is incredible. I can't think of a single musician, singer or band better than her today. The album will be remembered as an all time classic. I also just got her previous album (which Amy recently said she didn't like). The style on the previous album is different but it's still brilliant! My favourite tracks on the Back to Black album are 'You Know I'm No Good' and 'Addicted'.
 Okay but.... April 4, 2008

The album is okay, but when Amy covered AC/DC's Back in Black she should have kept the main riff! It's one of the most famous guitar riffs in the world and not to include it is bordering on nudity.
I just can't stop listening March 30, 2008

I have had this album for about 6 months and it has never left my car's CD player. I can't understand it, I just don't get bored of listening to it. Its brilliant, it beautiful. In fact, its so good I recommend it to everyone who has a musical ear.

I recently bought this album after a few of the singles came out and it's just the most fantastic album I have ever heard, it's no wonder that this legend doesn't stop selling.
All of the tracks tell a different story each with a slightly different tone. Each song is an individual masterpiece but as always I do have few favourites, these include Back To Black, Rehab, You Know I'm No Good, Tears Dry On Their Own, He Can Only Hold Her, Addicted and Wake Up Alone.
There is a hype to this album, due to to the media obsession with Amy Winehouse but you have to look beyond the picture that they've painted of her. Winehouse is a truly talented artist and a fantastic song writer.
I'm sure this review probably doesn't interest many because you've probably all heard the album but honestly, if you're looking for a masterpiece, this is where you'll find it.
I also recommend a purchase of Winehouse's collaboration with Mark Ronson, Valerie, available on single or on his album which is also pretty good, Version. The deluxe edition also comes with a slower version of Valerie, however, I don't feel it's as good as Ronson's version.
