Pretty and predictable.......2006-08-30

Diverse and emotional male/female duo deals primarily in the Low variety of slow, acoustic based sadness, albeit with a little more pep and accessibility. It is the straight laced pacing and production that neither adds to ones emotional involvement, nor drowns it out in a sea of pretension; surly a better possibility, but also a worse alternative. While running through a variety of moods and subtle changes in the instrumentation, many songs feel like a refreshing attempt to keep each track individual... although as subtly eclectic as the track listing can be, despite the earnest and sincere playing, the strumming still retains it's dulling pace; the majority of songs simply do not rise above their predictable mechanics.

good but not great.......2005-09-26

i've owned this cd for some time now (probablly purchased it in later 98 or early 99). i hadn't listened to in in over two years and i decided to pop it in just to see if maybe i would be more into it now than i was a few years back. nope!

this cd is definately good, but it's not remarkable. it's basically something that i would listen to if someone put it on, but i would never put it on myself. ida are great musicians and this album definately highlights their abilities in different genres. to me this album is really only worth it for "shoe in" and "everyone knows this is nowhere". both are covers, by the secret stars and neil young respectively, but they have their own uniqueness to them.

The BEST Ida CD.......2004-12-02

Like many of you, we have hundreds of CDs, but this is the VERY BEST Ida album and in the top 10 for all of our CDs. I've had it for several years and it remains touching, inspiring, beautiful and angry, and is actually capable of giving you the chills -- repeatedly. You must buy it and experience the lovely wash of sound that is Ida.

strings remind me of the black watch.......2000-04-15

Ida is uncommonly lovely, very beautiful pop with a hushed sensibility--the strings remind me of my favorite other obscure indie pop band the black watch. Achingly heartfelt--sometimes too much so--songs and campfire production. His Name is Alive guy apparently produces them: that seems fitting. Buy this!
