Great Underrated Band
Wow! That's about all I need to sum up this album, but I will elaborate. Listening to the first song, "Helicopters," I was immediately reminded of Mumford and Sons. However, they mix things up throughout the album and really set forth a cool, unique sound. Both the male and female vocalists shine through when given the opportunity, though the male is a bit more enjoyable. Some deep concepts are explored throughout the course of the album; death, religion, and love (but not in a lame 'pop' way). The highlights of this album for me are, "To the Desert," "Helicopters," and "Going Home." I feel like these three are a good representation of what you're in for when you buy the album. Is it worth the $9? Your call. I'm a folk fan and I love supporting up and coming bands so for me it's a no-brainer.This is an exceptionally comforting record to just unwind to and think deeply about while either hanging out with friends or on a car ride or even out for a hike.

A near-perfect album from a talented newcomer
Michelle Branch may be about the same age as many of the blonde dancers who have taken over the music scene of the past few years, but it would be wrong to compare her music to theirs. While Michelle and the blondes (is it just me or does that sound like the name of a '80s group?) may all be able to produce catchy, radio and MTV friendly songs, they really are as different as night and day. Michelle actually writes her own songs and uses real instruments. Her music is more like the music performed by people like Fiona Apple or Alanis Morrisette than the singers who are her age. I'm feeling lazy today, so instead of really writing a good review, I'm just going to list the songs and make comments about them.Everywhere- 5/5 Everyone reading this has probably heard this song a million times by now, but it's still great. It's catchy and upbeat without really being pop.You Get Me- 4/5 I like this song, but it can get on my nerves sometimes. It's good, but not one of my...

Michelle has a beautiful, serene, driving voice.....
This CD is absolutely fantastic! It's always in playing in my stereo, and is above all my most favorite CD in my collection. Michelle's voice is young, powerful, and rich, and though she might not be as popular as fellow artists Jennifer Lopez or Ashanti, her vocals are definitely equal, if not better, than both. Her range is awe-inspiring and amazingly strong for an eighteen-year-old, and her nice sound is something that music has been missing for awhile now. 1. Everywhere -- We all know this song. The song is thoughtful and instantly likeable, and it was an excellent choice for a debut. I'm glad Michelle picked this as her introduction to the music world. The melodies are beautiful.2. You Get Me -- This is probably my least favorite track of the CD. Michelle sounds pretty and the song has interesting lyrics, but I'm just not that into it.3. All You Wanted -- Arguably the best track on this album. We all know it, it was on the radio for months. It's catchy,...

"So I'm a little left of center, I'm a little out of tune," sings Michelle Branch on her debut album's "You Get Me." Well, maybe. Branch offers a well-produced pastiche of chiming and strumming guitars, hip-hop-lite beats, quiet-verse-to-louder-chorus templates, and positive thinking. At her best--"If She Only Knew," a propulsive love note to an ex--she rivals the likes of Sixpence None the Richer as likable radio-aimed fare. Catchy and self-expressive while breaking absolutely no ground, Branch also echoes everyone from label-mate Alanis Morissette to the solo Belinda Carlisle. She dies just a little in this crazy mixed-up world, escapes to her secret garden for sunshine in the pouring rain, and ultimately finds her reflection getting clearer. The Spirit Room could be the next bit of pop philosophy to dazzle mainstream audiences. --Rickey Wright Top to learn more

michelle branch - not just a "girl with a guitar"
as a teenage girl, i often feel as though the music industry is constantly pushing false images and manufactured "girl anthems" at me. to be perfectly honest, i was a bit hesitant to buy michelle branch's major label debut. sure, i'm a big hanson fan, and i know she toured with them. big deal. i was prepared for her to be maverick records' answer to britney spears.however. . .i've listened to each song on the album a few times, and i must say i'm pleasantly surprised. michelle writes (yes, she actually had a hand in each song on the album) with as much honesty and awkwardness as any teenage girl feels every day. the songs are quite relateable, and she doesn't seem to be some supergirl who i could never aspire to be or meet or know. she's just a regular girl, singing regular songs about regular feelings. i'd say this is maverick records' attempt to corner the regular girl market. anyhow, here's a bit of each song, in detail.track 1 - "everywhere": it's no...

Surprising versatility!
I generally like Santana and was pleasantly surprised by how much I really loved some of the tracks I really didn't know anything about. The album is truly collaborative and provides a diverse range of musical styles. Tracks 10 and 14 are amazing.

No Sophmore Jinx At All -- She's Here to Stay!
An incredible follow up to a great debut, Hotel Paper is not only one of the best albums of the year, it will also be the album we look back at in 20 years as the one that established Michelle Branch as one of the best singer-songwriters of her generation. There, I said it...It's stronger in every way than "The Spirit Room", especially vocally. Michelle has moved beyond her (endearing) vocal ticks of her first album, and is a MUCH more confident performer.There are numerous songs that should get heavy rotation, including the duet with Sheryl Crow (though not my favorite on the album).She's already been shown the respect she deserves when chosen to sing on the breezy "The Game Of Love", so the industry will definitely be behind her for years to come.I could definitely imagine hanging out with her if she went to college when I did. She's a very down to earth, girl next door, and a lot of people can relate to her, from multiple generations -- another...

Once again, an amazing album
Personally, I thought that Michelle's first album "The Spirit Room" would be so hard to top. Since I got the cd, I've been listeneing to it nonstop. However, Michelle's second cd, "Hotel Paper" topped "The Spirit Room" by about 10 times. Her first single "Are You Happy Now?" is only a small taste of what she can do musically. Michelle is an amazing songwriter, as well as a great guitarist. Her voice is fresh and original, and it shows in her lyrics and her voice that she is truly singing from her heart. Her lyrics relate to real-life situations, typically for teenagers going through break ups or heartaches. The tracks on this album range from poppy to almost jazzy. Each is original and new, bringing style and class to her music."Love Me Like That" with Sheryl Crow is probably my personal favorite track on the album, mostly because it is one of the more upbeat songs. Michelle's voice blends seamlessly with Sheryl's, and Sheryl...

Michelle Branch continues to impress!
I admit, when I first bought this album, I didn't know what to expect. After listening to all of it, it look some time to get used to the "new" sound, as this album is not as happy, poppy, and bright as her debut, The Spirit Room. Eventually all the songs grew on me in a big way. At first it seems like all the songs "sound alike" but it's that way with all new albums. The album requires multiple listenings for each song to come into its own. My favorites on this CD are pretty much all the songs. The one song that took the longest to grow on me is "Til I Get Over You." The French backing vocals weirded me out for awhile until I got used to them. I like this album so much that I have two copies: The American release and the import with the 2 extra tracks (Everywhere, Game of Love). I'm really impressed with her songwriting on this album. Seven of the album's 12 tracks were written solo by Michelle. The others had co-writers. She's a refreshing artist out there today who DOESN'T sell her...

Love this. Welcome back, Lady.....
I have been listening to this album on repeat in my car for the past three days. I love every single song. Some of them are more "twangy/countryish" than others, but on the whole. a solid 6 song EP. I had high hopes, but had set my expectations low. I love love LOVE this album. and if you read any of my other CD reviews, you'll see that if I don't like a CD by my favorite artists, I will say so.Each song is unique. There's no "blandness" here. And I am especially moved by "I Want Tears". Just gorgeous. Please buy this. I want a full CD from this amazing singer/songwriter, please. Again....welcome back Ms. Branch.

Amazing EP. I really love her collaboration with Hillary Lindsey, one of my favourite songwriters. My only wish is that Everything Comes And Goes would have been released as a full lenght cd like it was supposed to. It would have been such an amazing album. What a shame that Michelle has trouble releasing her cd's. I bet she has tons of material which we never get to hear, unfortunately. I really love her doing country and I wish she would continue to do country. I want a full lenght country album from Michelle. And she should keep on writing with Hillary Lindsey!

Product Description

'Everything Comes And Goes' represents Branch's first project since she enjoyed her first country smash with 200's acclaimed album 'Stand Still, Look Pretty' by The Wreckers, the duo with which Branch made an inspired vocal and songwriting collaboration that was nominated for both a CMA Award and a Grammy. The popularity of The Wreckers helped establish Branch as a fixture of country radio. True to its philosophical title, 'Everything Come And Goes' documents what became a complicated and emotional time in the life of Branch, who first moved to Nashville four years ago with her musician husband Teddy Landau to make music and start a family. According to Branch, 'Everything Comes And Goes' - produced by John Leventhal and John Shanks ('My Two Johns,' Branch calls them with a laugh) - reflects what she calls 'two break-ups the past year or two.' Born in Sedona, Arizona, Branch took voice lessons at eight, got her first guitar by fourteen, and instantly became obsessed with songwriting. That same passion resulting in Branch releasing her first independent album 'Broken Bracelet' and signing her first major label record deal with Maverick before she turned eighteen.

Amazing
I have gotten hold of 6 of the tracks on this upcoming CD and so far it is amazing. I love her new style and her voice is as good as ever if not better. I love all the tracks but my favorite has to be Crazy Ride, in this one she really shows off her vocal strength and the lyrics are simply amazing.

The Co-op’s game-changing deal for Lloyds’ “Project Verde” branches is under threat because the Financial Services Authority (FSA) is thought to have concerns over the mutual’s management capabilities and governance. And the Verde branches would not be removed from Lloyds’ technology platforms and would instead be reliant on the high street bank for its operation. A proposal aimed at kick-starting the Co-op’s stalled acquisition of 632 Lloyds branches has been put to the City regulator, it has been reported.

I knew I would be in the paddle market for more than just a kayak paddle because of next year’s Canoe100+ on the Illinois river so I contacted Bending Branches to see if they would have any interest in lending a hand to the 100+Project. There are a few variables when buying a paddle and a good test paddle is the way to go before committing to a certain brand/model. When I bought the Whisper which served me well I told myself that when it came time to buy another paddle it would be the Navigator. I thought it was funny that my nephew had bought two paddles from REI and they told him to use both and return the one he didn’t like, but Alpine Shop told me that if I planned on returning it I shouldn’t scratch it up because they would have to... The Navigator performed as smoothly at mile 100 as it did at mile one and I am very positive about my chances of finishing the MR340 using it. Of course I will still have the Whisper as back up but short of losing the Navigator I can’t imagine...
