Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Satirical Songs for those whom do and don't like to think.......2005-09-25

Good Satire and enjoyable beats but don't think the whole album is like the two super hits SUPERMODLE and I KISSE A GIRL.

5 out of 5 stars So good.......2005-09-16

Jill Sobule has been on my radar since the early 90s. She is a wonderful story-song composer, wtih wit and grace filling every facet of her lyrics and music. She should be much better known.

4 out of 5 stars She's gonna sing, you're gonna listen!.......2005-01-17

Jill Sobule is the singer/songwriter best(only) known for the semi-novelty song "I Kissed a Girl". This album contains that song plus 11 or 12 other songs she wrote or co-wrote. (The song "Supermodel" is a bonus track that was not on the original version of this album. It was from the "Clueless" soundtrack.) Jill is a quirky songwriter, with a very original style. Most of the songs here are humorous, although more "crack a smile" funny than "laugh out loud" funny. This is a very good album, which should appeal to fans of offbeat girl singer/songwriters.

5 out of 5 stars Secret Genius.......2004-01-11

When this album first came out I used to listen to it in the car all the time, not really aware of who she was or how famous she was (not at all, it turns out). Then I didn't listen to it for ages, and a couple of years ago, when I finally got musical taste, I heard it again and thought - she's a genius. Fantastic, witty lyrics, melodic guitar and diverse song subjects (from political Romeo-and-Juliet style war stories to teenage dreams of stardom) mean this album is essential listening. Each tune is a little story, and Sobule has an original take on life that should keep you hooked. Look out for her other albums too.

5 out of 5 stars Jill Sobule- best f'cking artist ever..........2002-01-14

The songs on this album are as musically diverse as it gets. From the sweet, sad ballads like "Houdini's Box" and "Vrbania Bridge" to the pop-punk "Supermodel", every song is another treasure that seems to be getting better with time. I've had this CD for about a month, and every time I listen to it, I find another secret Jill is telling me. Anyone who listens to female vocalists will love this CD, it's pure poetry.
