Format:Audio CD
Since this is second release of Letters to cleo it had to make and impression. It is their most original and thoughtfull. The play of words used in the lyrics and lack of predictable rhyming is what makes it stand out. Methods of lyrics and new sounds makes this unusually addictive and attractive even to the ignorant listener. Its sound that cannot be reckoned with and that is letters to cleo. The album shows what they are capable of without media or "groupie" influences. There are no Number ones or chart toppers but just a collection of songs that will make you happy or extemely sad.
My advise if you want to put it in perspective and want your thoughts cleared buy this today...

Indy alternative rock band Letters to Cleo have mastered the art of the ironic, biting and slightly angry lyric underpinned with entirely suitable crunch-guitar led playing. This is a great band album, with an organic feel to the playing, although no virtuosity.
If you've not come across Letters to Cleo before as such, you may remember them as the band in 10 Things I Hate About You, playing on the rooftop at the end, and also in the prom and earlier in the club. Their sound is -- well -- exactly what you would expect in that kind of club, though Heath Ledger's jibe about 'girls who can't play their instruments' is entirely unfounded: the singer is female, the musicians are male, and they can very definitely play their instruments.
I ordered this, and other Letters to Cleo stuff, on a whim after seeing the film for the second time. I am totally not disappointed, and mark this as one of the discoveries of last year.

My first introduction to Letters to Cleo!
5 Oct 2004
Format:Audio CD
I bought this CD the day it came out, after reading a favorable review of it in the Boston Phoenix, years ago. It was produced then by a small little record company (Cherrydisk I think) and you had to write away for the lyrics. Which I had to do, considering I couldn't understand 'here and now' without them!
That aside, I've always found that this CD was one of their best. That being said, I don't think there's much from Letters to Cleo that I didn't like. The songs are fun to listen to, and I've found that even after 8 years that it's a CD that I can listen to from beginning to end with nothing short of a toe tapping good time. Melly's coming over is one of my favorite tracks, along with Step back. This CD never gets tired.

really great cd
17 Sep 2007
Format:Audio CD
Unlike other people I select stars very carefully. 4/5 stars means this is a really really good cd. Here And Now is far and away the best track however the others are quite good as well and make for a very good quality cd. Overall I was extremely impressed by this cd and recommend it to all. It is one of those cds that you can repeat over and over and not get tired of. For fans of 90s rock music this is a must have.

Good, but not the best Letters To Cleo
22 July 2003
Format:Audio CD
I really like Letters To Cleo, but this was not my favourite album.
The best songs are I See, Here and Now, Come Around and Step Back.
I wanted to like it but the songs i haven't mentioned are a little dull and not as memorable as the above.
I've only had a week to get into it and i find myself skipping songs.
By this if you really like Letters To Cleo, but if you are trying them out, i suggest 'Wholesale Meats' if you want a bit of rock or 'Go' if you prefere something that sounds a little more pop/rock similar to the songs in the teen movie '10 Things I Hate About You'.
