Summary: Excellent - pure poetry
Comment: A Fine Frenzy broke on the music scene just recently; indeed this is her debut album that came out on 7/17/2007. Well, it is easy to see what all of the hubbub is about! This young lady has an excellent singing voice that really gives her songs a haunting, soulful sound. The music is excellent with piano and other instruments. And as for the songs - pure poetry!
OK, do you think I am going too far? Well, it's true, this is excellent music. Ever since I got the album I have listened to it over and over again - in my car, and at work. Yep, I like it that much.
My favorite songs are The Minnow & The Trout, Liar, Liar, and Almost Lover. But, I love them all. I think that this is a great album, and I really believe that A Fine Frenzy has a great career ahead of her. I look forward to her next album, and I highly recommend this one!

Summary: Beautiful and Haunting
Comment: I really love this album. Allison has a great voice and the lyrics are whimsical yet deep. The orchestral sound adds such a haunting quality to the music.
I can't get Almost Lover out of my head, and the images that The Minnow and The Trout invokes is so fantastical.

Summary: Hauntingly beautiful
Comment: Absolutely, hauntingly, beautiful. Alison somehow finds a way to merge thought-provoking, totally relatable lyrics with melodies that are out of this world. There's a number of more melancholic songs on the album, but they're balanced out nicely with a few sweeping, spirit-lifting offerings like "You Picked Me", "Come On, Come Out", "Rangers", and so on. A song for every mood. In conclusion, this is a stunning, hypnotic record, and completely worth the price (and it's quite a bargain on here).

Summary: Amazing voice and talent
Comment: This is simply one of the best talents Ive come across in a while...excellent voice, lyrics and music. I wish artists like this had more of a platform than all the mainstream shallow, talentless stuff has...if youre reading this then you know what I'm talking about. Definately give her album a shot if youre undecided.

A Fine Frenzy is actually just a fine young singer-songwriter from Seattle, born Alison Sudol. A self-taught piano player, on her debut album she pairs sweeping orchestral arrangements with dreamlike lyrics inspired by the classic works of fantasy writers like CS Lewis, EB White, and Lewis Carroll. Add to that a propensity for frilly shirts and cryptic song titles such as "The Minnow & the Trout" and you half-expect to find a back alley Joanna Newsom. Instead Sudol specializes in accessible pop epics, the kind of songs that fit perfectly over the end credits of a great Hollywood tearjerker. Despite the gentle melancholia that runs through "Ashes and Wine" and "You Picked Me," each tune arrives wrapped in an exuberant melody and topped by the singer's commanding voice. On the disc's standout moment, "Almost Lover," she shows she can do simplicity as well, musing over a sublime piano medley, "Shoulda known you'd bring me heartache/ Oh, most lovers always do." --Aidin Vaziri
