Reviews
Rolling Stone (07/24/03, p.84) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...It's Macy working in her sweet spot..." Spin (7/03, p.108) - "...As a current-events commentator, Gray's got better beats than 'The New York Times' and funnier lyrics than Fox News..." - Grade: B+ Entertainment Weekly (07/18/03, p.72) - "...Gray's third collection is crammed with easy-going rhythm-section grooves, topped with chicken-scratch guitar riffs, plonking piano chords, and nimble horn charts that span '60s soul and the jauntier aspects of present-day hip-hop..." - Rating: A- Uncut (6/03, p.104) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...She's one of the few industry-saviours with soul, and is indeed being herself, no trouble..."

    Not the first time I've bought from Rarewaves who I've never had any issue with so most likely won't be the last. They often seem to have some great products that are sometimes difficult to obtain elsewhere. They are usually well priced, products as described and in this case brand new and still sealed. First class communication and timely delivery with very secure packaging mean you never have to worry about purchasing with this A+++ Seller.

    Rarewaves is my favourite eBay retailer. I've bought a large number of CD's from them, and this time was no different. I always receive excellent service, and they have great communication with buyers. The CD's arrived in pristine condition and were extremely well packaged (very safe and secure). They've got a huge range and very competitive prices. Very worthwhile saving this seller to come back for more (there's so many other CD's I could've bought). I give them a solid 5 stars +++ easily.
