Promising, but spotty,
By
This review is from: Hello (Audio CD)
Listening to Poe's followup Haunted is like hearing an entirely different album - none of us could be accustomed for an album that great after this, an album that for the most part has forgettable, well-sung pop-r/b tunes. Her quasi-hit singles then, "Trigger Happy Jack" and "Angry Johnny" haven't aged well (the novelty of the suggestive lyric "I want to blow you... away" is long gone), but there are moments of real vocal and artistic inventiveness here. Check "Dolphin" a trippy ode to cleverness, or the jazzy "That Day" that features mock-coffee house lines like "Spilled a diet coke on my mother, said hi, what I meant to say is why is your life a joke." She's a surprisingly vital artist, and although, much of this record is dismissable, a surprising amount isn't.

Hello? Its about time someone like Poe came along..,

This review is from: Hello (Audio CD)
Poe trudged herself slowly and steadily through the years between her debut and sophmore efforts. I havent bought Haunted yet because i was completely unaware that Poe had released a sophmore effort. But back to the main attraction, Hello is a refreshing change. Poe may not be radio-friendly or a huge commercial success but she shows that she can make a very decent album. Although some songs, lyricaly and musically, may be utterly unbearable other songs I can't get enough of. Songs like Dolphin, Trigger Happy Jack, and Angry Johnny are absolutely incredible and Poe deserved much more attention for such a mind-blowing debut. Unlike other artists Poe put time and effort into crafting the best debut she could have possibly made, mainstream or not. In many songs the lyrics can be pathetic and distorted and the music can be quite the ear-whrencher (thus why I gave it 4 stars) this is still a very decent album and an excellent effort made by Poe.

HELLO HELLO ARE YOU OUT THERE?,

This review is from: Hello (Audio CD)
Haunted by Poe's vocals, I don't get why this wasn't embrace by the radio airplay....but anyway it's better, a guilty pleasure for underground taste...but...even though this album was certified GOLD by the RIAA(1/2 million copies).the words."Angry Johny" enchanted us with the message to an old lover, "Hello" are ouy out there?, somebody there in the after life?, "That Day" melancolic and driven, "Trigger Happy Jack" such a junkie song, delightful, "Choking the Cherry" rock rock!, "Another World" kind of retro, this album is delightful in many ways, but fails to reach an ecstasy with half the songs, while the others are impacable and masterpieces, such a must have album for anyone who likes alternative music.
