Product Description
From Amazon.com
Give Poe credit for overcoming obstacles and delivering a second album as ambitious and loaded as Haunted. Extending over 15 wildly diverse tracks linked together by ambient interludes and spooky tape splices of old cassette recordings featuring the singer's late father, documentary filmmaker Tad Danielewski, the album shows the songstress moving effortlessly through ethereal folk-hop ("Haunted"), Shania Twain-style country rock ("Walk the Walk"), and flamenco-infused balladry ("Spanish Doll"). The only constant through the turbulence--emotional and otherwise--remains her desperately romantic voice and its desire to bid her father a proper farewell at every turn. --Jaan Uhelszki

One of the best ever.
July 14 2004
Format:Audio CD
I love this album, a lot. It took me about a year to listen to it after I bought, but now I listen to it at least twice a week. I have over 200 cds in my collection and you could take all of them away and leave me this one and I would be just fine I think.
Perfection. Ambient and beautiful.

Format:Audio CD
Poe is the sister of an author I am reading now, Mark Z. Danielewski, and this CD connects with his book "House of Leaves." Don't think, because of that, this is some capitalistic tie-in, this CD stands alone as mostly a tribut to her father, who died. Samplings of his voice in all the tracks, along with the first track being the message she left on her mother's phone, telling her that dad had died. Then on with the perfectly ambient, yet structured music... it all goes perfectly together, and each song, along with being it's own whole, flows perfectly with the theme of the CD. Also I was very impressed with the CD artwork, which is photographs of Poe with this insane looking child, all photographs wonderfully chilling with calm insanity.
This is a wonderful CD and I suggest it to anyone that enjoys very good music.

"Ever read any Poe?"
"No, but I LOVED her last album."
"No, but I LOVED her last album."
With this dialogue exchange from Panic Room, I was first introduced to the singer Poe. When looking for her online a few days ago, I saw THIS and assumed it was the album in question. So, I bought it after hearing some sample tracks.
After listening to this album, I can say this: had it been her debut, it would have gotten more praise than it already has, and it could have made her a superstar. That's how good it is. But no, it peaked at #115 in a year of N'Sync, Britney Spears and The Backstreet Boys. This could have launched a musical revolution with it's eerie concept, it's swirling music, and the "beyondthegrave" recordings of her father, whose death dominates the album. Buy it. I did and I'm VERY happy with my purchase.
EDIT: It has, since the day I wrote this, become my favorite album. Best Songs: Haunted, Hey Pretty, Control, Terrible Thought, Not A Virgin, Walk The Walk.

I've been a POE fan since I first heard her in the mid 90's so when I saw this album released, I snapped it up quickly. Read more

who could've seen it coming?
Her debut was fine, but forgettable. So why, then, is this followup so daring? It would have been enough to have it just be chock full of good songs, but Poe has greater... Read more

Turn off the lights, enjoy the ride...
Rarely does an album come out that demands so much attention from its listeners, and boy is it worth it. On her sophmore effort, Poe weaves a tale unlike any other. Read more
