This cd has to be one of the most interesting purchases for me this year. The lyrics are orginal and Regina's voice is incredibly enticing and spellbinding. All songs have the ingredients needed for a hit, clever metaphors, catchy tunes, thought provoking lyrics and incredible individuality. There are also a great number of songs, (mainly fidelity!) that will quite literally be stuck in your head for days, possibly even weeks!!! Will be enjoyed thoroughly by people who also like Fiona Apple, Natalie Merchant, etc. Although not exactly the same in genre and sound as the two mentioned singers Regina has equal if not more superior uniqueness. I would highly recommend this buy, it is great value for money and a life time music investment! There really will be a song for everyone on this album!
Fidelity 5/5 Better 3/5 Samson 4/5 On the radio 5/5 Field Below 3/5 Hotel Song 5/5 Apres Moi 4/5 Twenty years of snow 4/5 That Time 5/5 Edit 4/5 Lady 3/5 Summer in the City. 4/5

Great choice for a first review! What'd I'd say though is that you can make your reviews more helpful (and thus get better grades/more points/more money etc) by adding more detail to your reviews. Say, add a tracklisting, and then make a few notes about each song, and maybe a rating out of 5 or something. Wilcommen to Ciao! I think that's how they say it in Germany, it's been four years since I had a lesson at school.

Advantages: Wonderfuly expressive, offbeat, unique, exciting and enjoyable Disadvantages: The more conventional songs don't hold up as well as the others
Advantages: A wonderful collection of songs and sounds that are so individual and so beautiful. Disadvantages: None that I can think of - only that I didn't know about her sooner!
