Release date-Jan 3rd
Anyone looking forward to this?
Nothing has leaked yet and its driving me crazy. I enjoyed a lot of her debut double disc, though I also thought it was a tad inconsistent.

This is my most anticipated CD of 2006 (good thing it comes out at the very beginning of the year)... I'm upset nothing has leaked yet, I'm so anxious to hear something; Get Away from Me was my favorite album of 2004.

I don't know if I'll buy it, but she's okay with me though. I liked Get Away from Me, but it's hard for me to listen to it the whole way through because it's too varied even for me.

Good to see another fan! Stephen Colbert ( The Daily Show, The Colbert Report (silent T, just like his last name), as well as the voice of Phil Ken Sebben on Adult Swim's Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law) likes her, according to a recent Blender. Also, my buddy Josh, who used to post very infrequently at Pulse, bought her album last year. I'd like to hear it, as I don't think I've actually heard a Nelly McKay (rhymes with 'sky') song. |

I noticed that this CD doesn't have the Parental Advisory sticker on it... hopefully she didn't have to hold back in lyrics for the release and it has the bite of the first album.

Re-post of my review at Pulse:
OK, upon listening to the album several times through, I have a feeling that many of the cut tracks were the edgier ones... hence the no parental advisory for this one. Overall, it lacks the bite of Get Away from Me... only the tracks "Real Life" and "Columbia is Bleeding" hit the same punch as Sari or It's a Pose from GAFM. Also, there's no rap on this one (as compared to 3 tracks from GAFM... Sari, Inner Peace, and The Work Song).
The "Beecharmer" duet with Cyndi Lauper is fun and catchy, and the duet with k.d. lang is good as well. "I Am Nothing" is short but kind of Middle Eastern-tinted and nice. Something is just missing though- the funny satire of GAFM is falling short here (the mocking is still there though, in tracks like "Cupcake" and "Tipperary"). I'd be extremely interested in hearing the 7 cut tracks--- I have a feeling they are more upbeat and rocky and would add the punch needed here.
Nonetheless, I'd still give it 4 stars out of 5 and it'll probably be my favorite album of 2006. It's a very, very good album, I just had extremely high expectations as a result of her debut album.
(Oh, also, those who complained of the first album being too varied in style for their tastes will probably be much more satisfied here... we don't have the swinging around from pop to jazz to rap to balladry here... much more evenly pop throughout)

I think I like this one better than the last one...on the first few listens.
