Catchy tunes and quite a bit potential.......2004-07-07

On her debut CD, Rachel Farris' music reminded me somewhat of a teenage Nina Gordon. The first three songs -- You Think, I'm Not The Girl, and Soak -- are probably the best on the album. I'm Not The Girl, in particular, is imbued with a distinctive raw emotion and pathos. Soak, in contrast, has an infectiously upbeat, boucy quality to it. The remainder of the songs, while drifting into sappy-teenage-love-song territory, are still well performed tracks. Certainly one must give Farris credit for having written the music & lyrics for the entire album herself, something that definitely sets her apart from the majority of her contemporaries. This one is worth giving a listen. Farris shows a lot of potential. Hopefully we will be hearing from her again in a couple of years.

This is the best CD I've ever bought!.......2004-06-15

Rachel Farris is a truly talented artist.
Not only a wonderful singer, but also a wonderful songwriter.
She wrote all of her songs! Nobody does that anymore. AND she co-produced her album!

It rocks. Seriously. If you think Avril rocks, Avril's album can't hold a candle to Rachel's. Every song is good and there's variety. Her music is so fun to listen to and her lyrics are very deep. I've laughed and cried listening to this album.

I want to help spread the word about this album, because it's honestly that good! I believe many of these songs could be pop-rock classics if more people knew about Rachel.

damn, not another teenie bopper!.......2004-05-10

rachel farris's debut album soak is eaisly the worst album of the year. much like hilary duff, rachel uses "heavy metal" gitars and instramentals in a attempt to be edgy.
and again like hilary duff her bublegum pop voice confuses the sound. her lyrics go no where when she is "deep" and when her innuendos and abscrities rest the songs are pointless.
i am not going to further furnish your imaganation with my opinion, i will however save you the trouble
DO NOT BY THE ALBUM OR SUPPORT RACHEL FARRIS IN ANYWAY
if you as a listener have any integrity.

The best female disc in years.......2004-04-11

This is hands down the best female disc I have found in years. She has a great voice, maybe a little young sounding for the harder songs, but still great. The lyrics aren't the best ever, but they aren't bad either. It's obvious when listening to her singing that they mean something to her, she sings with real feeling for the songs. She wrote all words and music, which always makes the disc better to me, they know exactly what they were feeling when writing the songs and so know how the songs should feel when recorded. The disc is not like the rest of the female music that has been flooding the market lately, way overproduced bubblegum music. The production on this is excellent, she herself taking part in it, and the songs actually rock. A good mix of rockers and slower songs, every song on the disc is good. Can't understand why the truly good discs go unnoticed while the lousy ones sell huge, this should have sold millions. Sure glad I stumbled across this while trying to find some new music one day, a must have CD. If you want something different from what else is out there, this is it. Different is good in this case. Hopefully we will hear much more from her in the future. I've heard people saying she was dropped by her label but according to Rachel herself as of March 15 she is still happily with Big 3 Records and writing songs for a new CD. Let's hope we hear from her again soon.

WORTH EVERY PENNY!.......2003-11-27

This cd is worth every penny. She has a good voice and its even more impresive that EVERY song on the cd is writen by her.
the top 3 songs on this cd are:
1) Its all you
