this album is full of surprises, and in my opinion the songs amy chose to be singles are no better than the album tracks, she should have released em ALL!!!
1. Just A Little Girl - Not Her Best 7/10
2. Misfit - Funny, and makes you wanna stand out from the crowd and be individual and a bit weird!! 8/10
3. Under The Thumb - Her Best single, very creative and the video helps the song! 10/10
4. If Only - I always skip over this song, as it's just going nowhere - 5/10
5. Beautiful Lie - She shows her bitter and unforgiving side here, and it is very convincing - suits her. 7/10
6. Ladder in my Tights - One of the highlights of the album - where Amy confesses "Ooh there's a little bit of psycho in me, I confess" be afraid - be very very afraid!! 10/10
7. Carry Me Away - A tad bit bland - the chorus goes "na na na na na na na na na na na na na carry me away - TWICE" enough said!! 6/10
8. Happy Now - Gives me the thrills everytime!! brilliance, a song of misery and deceit Fantastic 10/10
9. We're gonna be fine - Amy reaches a note here that you probably wouldn't have thought she could reach before now. This song is caring and loving. Nice Touch Studt 8/10
10. Superior Mind - Cool and very 80's rock chick 9/10
11. Going Out Of My Mind - No Comment - 3/10
12. Seconds Away - It's Quite good, but nothing to write home about - 6/10
13. Testify - I KNEW she was a rebel without a cause!! This track hits all the right spots. ALL OF THEM 10/10
14. Nobody - Lyric - "Nobody Knows, Nobody Cares If I Die" sound drastic - it is considering the next three words are "on the inside". This brings out the drama queen in Studt!! 8/10
Good Album, Good Voice - Nothing More
14 Songs 3 Singles 4 more potential singles 4 slow songs 10 up tempo numbers
overall - 7/10

Review of False Smiles - Amy Studt
Advantages: Exceptional, unique and memorable. Amy writes all her own songs and plays her own instruments. Disadvantages: The lyrics are a bit self-pitying and pessimistic at times (but this didn't bother me!)
