5 out of 5 stars Help !! I can't stop listening to this entire CD !!!.......2005-11-26

By lizaffair member at Liz Phair's Guyville

I ordered this version for the extra track "Can't Get Out..". Unfortunately, I'm still hooked on the older version.With the exception of that I feel each and every track is single material. Phair hasn't lost her phlair for a catchy tune with brilliant lyrics.Starting with "Leap Of Innocence" she reaches into her past with painful realities. I'm sure most all of us could relate to one or more of these experiences. The great thing about an artist is the ability to have one singing and bumpin' along to the tune. And the more I listen to these gems the more I do . With "Wind and The Mountain there is an noticable improvement on her talent for reaching those high notes."Stars and Planets" left me with a Beatle-like feel."Somebody's Miracle" feels like a song of past regrets.One of my favorites "Got my own thing" with the unforgetable "Ooh boy I'd love to help.Give ya enough rope to hang yourself and I hope your swinging this way too." "Lazy Dreamer" has a very U2 feel with the echoed guitar playing frantically . The single "Everything to Me" , with the George Harrison-like weeping slide guitar."Table For One" touches on her brothers past alcohalism."Why I Lie" could have been from the Stones influenced 1st album "Exile on Guyville" with its crunchy bluesy guitar."Everything (Between Us)" is like lying at the banks of the Ghanges river in India lazily rolling with sitarlike sounds.And ending with another song that has that recognizable Phair sound "Giving It all To You", You'll want to listen to this again and again if not this time after a few listens you'll be certain to be hooked.

5 out of 5 stars Liz Phair's Best Yet.......2005-11-15

The first few cds that Liz Phair came out with were likely to leave listeners baffled because the lyrics often did not make sense and Phair had not yet excercized her talent for great songwriting and vocal phenomena. The queen of Indie Rock came out with something fresh and new in her 2003 self-titled album, sounding a lot less confused and still singing about her self-battles with emotionally unavailable men. I loved that album and listened to it until I knew all the songs and could listen to it no more. When "Somebody's Miracle" came out, I was very excited and immediately ordered it. To say the least, it absolutely blew me out of the water, it is better than her last album and worth every penny I spent on it. She touches on a variation of subjects, tapping into her indie roots, touching on relationships like her last album, and every song on the album is catchy, which cannot be said about so many modern albums.
