Shoot from the Hip Reviews:
A Brilliant CD 
2009-10-10 - All of the songs on this CD are absolutely brilliant. I love them all.
The proper track listing is:
Making Music
Mixed Up World
I Won't Change You
Nowhere Without You
Another Day
Party In My Head
Love It Is Love
You Get Yours
The Walls Keep Saying Your Name
I Won't Dance With You
I Am Not Good At Not Getting What I Want
Hello, Hello
You should definetly get this copy of it not the one that has the blue writting on it because that dosn't include the song's "Making Music" or "I Won't Dance With You."
The songs have many different feels to them from Happy and Cheerfull in "I Won't Change You" and "Nowhere Without You" to Scary and Dramatic in "The Walls Keep Saying Your Name."
The song "I Am Not Good At Not Getting What I Want" would have to be, in my opinion, one of the best songs on the album.
I recommend this album to anybody, it is a fantastic album with Terrific songs on it.

The songs that put Sophie Ellis Bextor on the map
2007-05-12 - If you like songs with intellient lyrics and a melody then look no further. This album is like a breath of fresh air to our jaded ears.
Good 
2004-02-14 - Good cd, more consistent than the first, and an overall better listen, but lacking some of the stronger more upbeat qualities the hit singles on Read my Lips contained. Still worth the money!
sophie is a songwriter
2004-01-08 - To start with I am bummed out that I have the 10 track version of this recording without the extra 3 (!)tracks contained on the UK version, this leaves me slightly miffed and concerned that australian fans are not worthy of an extra 3 tracks --admit i havent deliberatly searched for the hidden track and it sounds like it might best remain hidden anyway.
ok then down to business>>either you have bought the first album and you want to know if the second one can match it>>the answer appears to be...yes ..maybe, I was a huge fan of the first album and this one has not yet surpassed it and is currently sitting a notch or 2 below it>>which is not to say it does not have the potential to match it, it does, surpass it? maybe not.
ok maybe you dont have the 1st sophie album and you have the age old dilema>>which one do i buy?? well in my opinion you buy the first one (see above) then buy the 'watch my lips' DVD and live in ecstacy for week while you watch that and then go out and buy some stylish clothes that make you feel good and buy the second CD of Sophies, come home and feel like the world is a great place afterall.
Special mention must be made of Sophies songwriting which seems to have matured from the first album. Sophie has something to say and can use words and music effectively like the great songwriters, i dont think we have seen or heard the best from Sophie yet. I can see a stripped back recording with acoustics and reliance on words , phrasing and delivery that becomes her masterpeice. If i have a criticism of the current album is that there seems to be too much happening in some of the tracks , particularly the ballads which , due to the strength of the songwriting would have been more powerful with less. I am sure Sophie would agree that less is sometimes...more.
So go on funksters, hail the birth of a great female songwriter from britian and realize that british art is not dead.
