Amazing!,
By Bruja18 (Billings, MT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Time to Fall (Audio CD)
I love this CD, it's brilliant. The lyrics to the songs are very well written, the music is beautiful and I can just entirely lose myself in this CD. There are not many that can do that to me, I listen to this CD constantly. If you love Capercaillie, but don't mind a different sound, check this out! This is a must-have for any celtic/new age collection!

Excellent collaboration with brilliant James Grant,
By camcas5 "camcas5" (Hatfield, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Time to Fall (Audio CD)
Karen Matheson's newest album seems to upset some of those who bemoan "she had better sing traditional songs OR ELSE!" I've heard of variety of criticisms of this album including a comparison to Celine Dion (this sort of absurdity boggles the mind! They CAN'T be listening, can they?) -- well, if folks are ready to open their ears and LISTEN, then they will hear a subtle, moving, richly realized work by one of the finest singers to emerge from Scotland in recent years. Not only that, but this album showcases one of the most talented and brilliant of Scottish writers and musicians, James Grant, who contributes a number of original tunes and is among the very talented group of musicians who back Karen Matheson. I'm still scratching my head at those that bemoan Grant's writing: he deftly weaves music and lyrics that are direct and simple enough for popular song, yet that are vibrant and insightful through their imagery, emotional range, precision, and poetic qualities.

A Different Sound,
By antithesis90 "antithesis90" (Hamel, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Time to Fall (Audio CD)
Well, this is certainly a different sound side of Karen Matheson that we haven't seen before. While I agree that the lack of Gaelic music is disappointing, the rest of the album cannot be lamented. Each track (with the possible exception of "Phoebe") is remarkable in its own way and thoroughly enjoyable. The title track, "Time to Fall", is addicting; the strong synthesized sounds along side her voice are fantastic. Its nice to see a modern attempt meet with such success.
