Orton's Trailer Park is first class,
By
This review is from: Trailer Park (Audio CD)
Orton has this deep, breezy, husky, sexy voice that she rolls into different octaves and she uses it with power on each and every one of her tracks. Trailer Park is probably her best offering to date; its beautiful tone and perfectly crafted songs are reminiscent of a type of more subdued, depressed Joni Mitchell character. She's got it, she flaunts it. An overlooked singer and songwriter, Orton demonstrates that she has chops, talent and scads of cred. One of the best songs on a great album is the haunting, deep, airy, creepy 'She Cries Your Name'. In the latter when Beth coos, "how long can this love remain?" you believe her with a passion, and aiding in her quest to find the answer are beautiful guitars, and cello and violin accompaniment. With songs like this, who needs chocolate or sex?

Better in Person,
By "welcher329" (Upper Montclair, N.J. United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trailer Park (Audio CD)
After seeing Beth Orton live at Field Day I was impressed by her accoustic solo music, as well as her lively personality. I was so excited to buy this cd based on what I had heard, but was dissapointed when I received it. Very little of the folkish guitar work that I had fell in love with was audible on the CD, and Orton over-layers her work with poppy base and drums. At some points on this CD she reminds me of radiohead (faintly) or Beck (especially on "tangent"), and at times delivers the folk feel that I found so appealing, but for the most part comes off as poppy and frankly, boring. Though this CD is certainly worth buying for tracks 1-3 and 10 and 11, it lacks replay value.Perhaps I am being overly critical because I had such high expectations for Beth. I would reccomend buying this CD, however, see her live. She is a great musician and a charming personality.

Things must get mighty dull in that chill-out room,
By Roy Pearl (Vancouver, BC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trailer Park (Audio CD)
This album always gets hyped as folk meets trip hop, which superficially sounds like an interesting meld. The truth of it is, however, that the "hop" never comes, and all you're left with is a long, slow trip into tired folk. Beth's vocals, during the very few seconds she manages to perk up, have a similarity to Carol King. Some might view that as a recommendation. The unobtrusive atmospherics make this pleasant-enough as background noise for when you're doing something like reading, but if you're doing something more active (like, say, washing the dishes) you might want a less somnambulant soundtrack.
