Great voice February 20, 2008
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
I am not a fan of this type of music ,but after this album was given as a present I was very surprised by the Winehouse's voice and the lyrics of her songs.
The album is very well produced and is the best British Pop album made in the last decade.
Several songs stand out but for me " Love is a loosing game " scores 10/10.
I always ignore the personal life of the artists and tend to rate what they do and not what they are , I just hope that she has a long and prosperous career.
This woman is a huge talent!! February 4, 2008

As another reviewer said - Amy Winehouse hadn't even appeared on my radar. I think all of the hype and gossip put me off listening out for her music. I looked at her and expected that it just wouldn't be my thing (thats what middle age does!)! I heard this album when it was given as a gift to my husband and from first listening, it just blew me away. She is truly out of her time. If she is similar to anyone, its Billie Holiday. No disrespect to Billie (I haven't listened to a lot of her stuff), but Amy's voice seems to me stronger and more versatile. There are also shades of soul and a sprinkle of motown in there.
I listen to this album again and again and never tire of it. Its sexy, powerful, uplifting, moving - it does it all. Any substance misuse problems Amy has are surely her own business and nothing to do with the music. Also lets face it, there is nothing unusual about great talents having such problems - another thing Amy and Billie have in common.

Well, I have nothing to add to the previous reviews... they're all true and this must be one of the greatest albums of recent years.
The Bonus Disc has this track listing, slightly different from the description & also a slightly different order from what it states on the packaging:-
Valerie
Cupid
Monkey Man
to Know Him Is To Love Him
Hey Little Rich Girl
You're Wondering How
Some Unholy war
Love Is A Losing Game (original demo)
Loudness wars - a win for sanity December 7, 2007

This deluxe version sounds better on a decent system because it is far less compressed than the standard edition; if only we always had a choice between "hot, mastered for mp3" versions and dynamic versions.
More please.
