ooOooOooO INTRODUCTION OooOooOoo

This opinion will be based on the exceptional work and effort put into the album ~ Central Reservation by Beth Orton.

ooOooOooO APPEARANCE OooOooOoo

*FRONT COVER*
The front cover shows a image of Beth’s head and shoulders looking to her right, smiling and leaning against a stone wall. This may be an unusual background to chose but is effective in drawing attention, as it is so plain. Above and below this picture there is a thick black line that tells you the artist of the album and its title. Personally i think the front cover shows originality and gives an almost fresh view on life and what it has to offer.

*BACK*
The back cover, I think has a hidden meaning in the sense of respect and saying goodbye to past memories. The back appears as a similar ad dictation of the front cover with the two black lines and a picture in the middle. The picture shows an open guitar case with red lining and beautiful pink and white flowers scattered into it. On the top black line, there is a list of the albums contents. The bottom black line has the barcode and information about the record company within it.

*INSIDE THE CASE*
Inside the case there is a small booklet, which you can take out. this booklet contains some pictures of Beth and a list of each songs instruments with the people who play them as well. also there is information about the producing and engineering aspects that are involved in each song.

*THE CD *
The CD has a simple red and black pattern with the word heavenly and the song list printed on to it. Also there is a small illustration of a cartoon bird sitting next to the word heavenly.

ooOooOooO SONG LIST OooOooOoo

The album contains twelve unique and inspiring songs that have the power to relax and carm you whatever your state of mind.

01. Stolen car (MY FAVOURITE)
02. Sweetest decline (NICE)
03. Couldn't Cause Me Harm
04. So Much More
05. Pass in time (EXCELLENT)
06. Central reservation - the original version.
07. Stars All Seem To Weep
08. Love Like Laughter
09. Blood Red River (ANOTHER FAV)
10. Devil song
11. Feel To Believe
12. Central reservation - The then again version

ooOooOooO COST OooOooOoo

In the shops this album would probably cost around £10.99 which is really good for what you are getting but however if you like shopping over the internet you could get this cd for as low as £5
or if you look hard enough you may get it for even cheaper. Whatever you end up paying it will be money well spent.

ooOooOooO MUSICAL QUALITY OooOooOoo

Each song that Beth orton has wrote , sung or even both which is often the case, has never disappointed. Her style is fantastically different from everything else and her lyrics are perfectly put into context. She writes with a real talent and she must be a very deep person in herself to write to the standard that she has shown in her past work. The quality that is shown in most of her peices astonishes nearly everyone who comes across it and, in my opinion she is an asset to the world of music.
Her style of music is very chilled out and certainly has unique qualities.

ooOooOooO MY OPINION OooOooOoo

In my opinion this album is superb example of the extraordinary talents that Beth Orton processes and is well worth buying. can you tell that im a big fan of Beth or what!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for reading
