A great disapointment

Advantages: Good lyrics
Disadvantages: Just a bad album

...
The album 'The Spirit Room' was released in 2001 by Michelle and her record company Maverick Records. The album was an immediate success and sold over 3 million copies.

Despite the fact it sold well, this is what I think of the album and the tracks:

===The Album===

The track listing for The Spirit Room

===Track 1- Everywhere===

Definitely one of the best on the album. ...
...upbeat rock/pop track. It starts off with just a few chords being played and then Michelle's voice comes into play. After the first chorus, the drums and the electric guitar hit in, and it becomes a great pop/rock song. The track is not the best originality track, some may here Avril Lavingne's voice when listenining to this track especially, I know I had a great argument with a friend about whether this was Michelle Branch or Avril singing it, I ... more

...produced this wonderful album ‘The Spirit Room’. The album was of course a success with the easy to listen to singles ‘Everywhere’ and ‘All You Wanted’. Since then she has also released the album ‘Hotel Paper’. She draws her inspiration from across the ages and many genres. She aspires to be as motivating as the Beatles and as honest as Jimi Hendrix. She wants to tell the truth and let people feel the love, they can’t grasp. THE SPIRIT ROOM This ...
...sure I’d agree with this. Some of the tracks have a slightly rocky feel to them, but it’s most definitely not a rock album. It has a rather chilled out, easy listening essence really. A lot of the tracks have an acoustic feel, which is very well suited to Michelle’s voice. There is never heavy percussion in this album but strong beats are sometimes used with simple, soft drums. There is a lot of guitar music in this album, because Michelle plays ...

Sprited, But Room For Improvement

Advantages: A couple of decent heavy pop tracks
Disadvantages: Not consistent enough, quality wise

When I wrote about Vanessa Carlton a few months ago, the comments section of that opinion quickly became an advert for Michelle Branch. Having grouped Carlton together with Avril Lavigne and Norah Jones and one of a group of singer songwriters appearing from the US in recent times, I was chastised for neglecting to mention Michelle Branch. The reason for this being that I didn’t really know a great deal about Michelle Branch. Hers was a name I’d ...
...taken the plunge with. But, having also been told that Michelle Branch would possibly be more to my taste, I decided to take the plunge. For no other reason than I’d just missed my train home from work and saw it sitting there in a record shop. The place is called “Impulse” for a reason, and I suspect I may be that reason! Much like Vanessa Carlton, Michelle Branch seems to be slipping along quietly in the background, career wise. Also missing out ...

Watch Out, Avril!

Advantages: Some great tracks
Disadvantages: A bit samey

...the moment though is The Spirit Room by Michelle Branch. I was given her second album Hotel Paper for Christmas so decided to have a look at her first album before I listened to the second. There have been lots of female singer songwriters coming onto the music scene lately, and Michelle Branch has been pushed to the background. Norah Jones, Katie Melua, Delta Goodrem, etc, are doing well for themselves and people seem to have forgotten about Michelle! ...
...and her second album The Spirit Room came out soon afterwards. This did well in America - she won a Grammy, dueted with Carlos Santana and The Spirit Room stayed in the US charts for more than 80 weeks, but it didn't do so well over here. Now I am not really any good at music reviews but want to do this album justice, so any tips or feedback would be really appreciated. I find it really tedious reading track by track reviews so I'll just go through ...

Disadvantages: Not Much

...any college campus really. The Spirit Room isn’t Michelle’s debut release. It’s her second album but her first Album “Broken Bracelet” failed to do anything in the charts. I love the way the track listing is set out. Each song is different to the next in some way so it’s not like your listening to the same track over and over.

Disadvantages: None at all

...the album. With ‘The Spirit Room’ I fell into one of the above categories, luckily however I don’t have to give it a bad review, not since I heard Dido’s debut Solo album have I been so blown away by a female vocalist’s album, the strength in the voice, the maeningfulness of the lyrics and the genuine feeling you get when you hear it for the first time, if I didn’t know better I’d say that Michelle was miming to a more mature artists voice - but ...

BREAKAWAY FROM POP PRINCESS TO ROCK CHICK!

Advantages: great reinvention, great songs, lyrics provided
Disadvantages: none - even the weaker tracks don't detract from the quality!

't have been out of place on Branch's debut "The Spirit Room". In "I Hate Myself For Losing You" we are probably venturing closest to Lavigne's territory but only in terms of style. Avril's voice is not a patch on Kelly's! In fact, speaking of Avril, she actually wrote the title track "Breakaway" - this song is a midtempo type tune which appeared in "The Princess Diaries 2" - and its actually my least favourite song on the album. It is one of the songs that has received the most praise in reviews but I find it kinda bland - it just sounds like numerous other songs by faceless girl singers. I have listened to basically nothing else but this album all week, have hummed songs from it pretty much constantly when I'm not in my flat, and already know pretty much every word of every song off by heart. To me, that's a pretty good sign an album is ...

Review of Breakaway - Kelly Clarkson

But It Can Be Fixed

Advantages: Branch's talent is obvious
Disadvantages: Hard to find

Although it was ?The Spirit Room? that bought Michelle Branch to the notice of the public, and ?Hotel Paper? that won her a Grammy, thanks to the collaboration with Santana it contained, neither were her first attempt at fame. A year before ?the Spirit Room?, there was an independent release which, although not quite being enough to propel her to stardom, did bring her to the attention of Madonna?s record label Maverick, and the course was set. Many of the songs that were contained on ?The Spirit Room? started life on this album, with around half the tracks having common ground between both albums. There?s a stripped down feel to many of them, and the production was clearly better (and, more than likely, more expensive) on ?The Spirit Room?. But there is clearly talent behind the songs here and I suspect it is this promise as much ...

Review of Broken Bracelet - Michelle Branch

STAND STILL, LOOK PRETTY . . . SOUND FABBY!

Advantages: a good mix of songs, fantastic vocals, lyrics included in cd inlay
Disadvantages: none

I've been a big fan of singer-songwriter Michelle Branch since I first heard her song "Everywhere" on MTV years ago and I loved her album "The Spirit Room". I mistakenly believed, although I knew she had released a follow-up album to this a few years back, that she had faded from the spotlight - what I didn't realise until recently was that she was in fact involved in a collaboration with her longtime friend and backing singer Jessica Harp - a band called "The Wreckers". Once I found out about them, and read some really positive reviews of their 2006 debut release "Stand Still, Look Pretty", I did something that was quite unlike me - and purchased the cd WITHOUT HAVING HEARD ANY OF THEIR MUSIC!!! I figured if Michelle was involved, I would enjoy it. It turned out to be a pretty good gamble... Michelle's music is quite pop ...
