Kerli - Love is Dead

Kerli - Love Is Dead
P. B-.. I am going to give this another try.. I am thinking she is trying to hard to be weird.. She needs to go pop, stay pop, and not worry about losing "cred". She will sell a lot more records.

D. B-.. I am going to give this cd another try, but I think after another listen I am going to agree with my gut.. The music is great.. The Production is amazing, and It gets lost in the delivery.. Her voice doesn't fit over 90 percent of the tracks..

1. Love Is Dead
P. I think they have remixed this.. it is happier..
D. Right from the beginning.. Woah.. it's Dark.. Big song..

2. Walking On Air
P. This feels faster than our copy..
D. This song is cool.. just odd...

3. The Creationist
P. I don't love it.
D. I don't know if I get this as a radio song.. It is a fun song though.

4. I Want Nothing
P. They are trying to hard..
D. I think the mix is bad.. her vocals are fairly burried, and the style of music doesn't fit her voice.. Too much..

5. Up Up Up
P. I like the string thing
D. This song is pretty cool.. at first I didn't like it.. but, it caught me.

6. Bulletproof
P.
D. They missed it again in the mix... I like the song tho.

7. Beautiful Day
P. I like the beat
D. This song is cool..

8. Creepshow
P.
D. Errie.. really.. strange..

9. Hurt Me
P. I like the music don't know if the vocals mix well
D. The tracking on the record is great!! The mixes.. not so much..

10. Butterfly Cry
P. once we got into it I like it..
D. Again.. the mix.. it's a little slow for me, and a step down from the rest..

11. Strange Boy
P.
D. She has a ton of production, great tracks, and somewhere in the delivery it all gets lost..

12. Fragile
P. Did Alanis sing this one
D. Eh I am done..
