Dido - Life For Rent, Drop What You're Doing, Go Get It Now

Date of Review:  Oct 3, 2003
The Bottom Line: One of the best cd's released this year...Now run kids...Go get it before radio kills it.
Review: I have to admit, I was one of those chicks who didn't get all swept up in the "Dido" mania back in 2001 when Eminem's song, Stan, pushed her into the spotlight. Although I enjoyed her angelic voice, I just didn't find her album, No Angel, to be...

Bought And Sold

Date of Review:  Oct 3, 2003
The Bottom Line: Refreshingly moody music that combines electronic and acoustic styles
Review: Although there is nothing quite as exuberant on British Singer/Songwriter Dido Armstrong's new release Life For Rent, as her performance of Feels Like Fire on Santana's showcase CD Shaman, this release is still a solid follow-up to her 1999...

Dido Offers Life for Sale and It's Worth Every Penny

Date of Review:  Oct 13, 2003
The Bottom Line: A better album overall than No Angel. Strong, emotional songs.
Review: Who makes you feel the way that I make you feel? Who loves you and knows you the way I do? Who touches you and holds you quite like I do? Who makes you feel like I make you feel?

Not many.

Last time Dido released an album I was...

My gray angel

Date of Review:  Oct 27, 2003
The Bottom Line: Who's that girl on the radio?
Review: Dido's sophomore effort easily was one of this fall's most eagerly awaited records. In 2001, debut album's catchy, clever pop songs like 'Hunter', 'Here with Me', and, most importantly, 'Thank You' elevated the British pop baby straight to stardom...

Dido's Sophomore Album: Return of the "Blandinator"

Date of Review:  Feb 15, 2007
The Bottom Line: Harmless and inoffensive. There are many better records out there, but just as many that are worse. If you like the 'folktronica' sound, give it a spin.
Review: Recording a sophomore album must be an incredible challenge to any successful artist. With a massive-selling debut hanging around your neck, you get left with the options of either rushing out a follow-up or trying to do something completely...

Now I?ve Really Written Her Off (YJPW, E&E W/Os)

Date of Review:  Aug 20, 2004
The Bottom Line: Carl and Dave owe me big time. If it wasn?t for their W/Os, I never would have listened to this festering pile of crap.
Review: A long time ago, I promised carl_lazarevic a music entry into his I m Sorry, But You re Just Plain Wrong W/O, with the intention of tracking down a copy of a CD by someone who gets a lot of critical acclaim, and the everyday consumer seems to love,...

No longer obscure

Date of Review:  Oct 7, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you liked the first Dido album, this one will not disappoint. Possibly better than the first, though not as original.
Review: When my boyfriend told me he liked the new Dido single, "White Flag," I knew it was only a matter of time before the full-length album would make it into our pre-bedtime CD rotation. I also counted on a copy in his car and made a mental note to...

Goodish, but not a masterpiece

Date of Review:  May 14, 2004
The Bottom Line: Drifts along quite inoffensively, but gets beneath your skin while your back is turned. Enough cliches? Yes, I think so...
Review: I never really got Dido's first album. Like many I came to her courtesy of Eminem's "Stan". I make no apologies for that. I did a little web-based research and discovered that she was the sister of Rollo (the lynchpin of UK dance band Faithless)...

Life For Rent - Dido

Date of Review:  Nov 10, 2003
The Bottom Line: Don't dismiss after first listen, but give it a go before making judgement.
Review: Whilst Dido's first release 'No Angel' was an instant classic which required only a single listen to become hooked, Life For Rent is a much more complex album which requires more work but gives even greater rewards.

With the exception of...
