Just beautiful...,
By Katherine "Kate" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beautiful Awkward Pictures [Australian Import] (Audio CD)
Who ever knew Toni Collette could sing like this? I checked this out after seeing her do a cracking rendition of Children of the Revolution on Live Earth and being quite shocked at what a good singer she was. Even more shocked to find out that she fronts a band and writes all her own songs. I've always liked Toni as an actress, Little Miss Sunshine especially made me a fan, but wow she has such a beautiful voice. The songs on this album are great. When I heard 'Look Up' for the first time I couldn't stop playing it or get it out of my head. 'Beautiful Awkward Pictures' and 'Vitamin Pills' another two of my favourites, just sent shivers up my spine the first time I heard them. I'm so glad I discovered this!

Perfect!,
By JestaCat - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Beautiful Awkward Pictures [Australian Import] (Audio CD)
What a brilliant album!
Admittedly, I was inspired by her name to invest in this product - and anyone who saw her as the lead in Broadway's "The Wild Party" will agree that that is not a bad thing. This woman can SING! Toni's voice is mellow, subtle and STRONG... The instrumentation thoughout this album is superb. Toni has surrounded herself with the best mix of musicians and producers etc to get everything out of this recording experience. First single "Beautiful Awkward Pictures" is simply gorgeous - second single "Look Up" is more energised and, like the rest of this album, affects you spiritually (in a positive way) before you realise it has even touched your soul. This album is non-pretentious; non-diva; no-holds-barred, unabbreviated and unadulterated brilliance. The only way this could be improved is by adding some bonus material ("Don't Dream It's Over" from the "Cosi" soundtrack . . .) hopefully a DVD with a live performance and the promo-video's will be released when the promotion is closing up... Initial Australian pressings of this CD had a mastering fault in the eleventh track - I contacted the supplier (via toni's website) and they happily exchanged it by mail to a corrected copy. Hopefully this won't stop people from enjoying this amazing CD.[...] 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful:

Artistically deep and beautiful,
By A. Miles - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Beautiful Awkward Pictures [Australian Import] (Audio CD)
I'd never heard of Toni Collette & The Finish until I did a web search on Toni Collette after being very impressed with her role in the recent movie 'Little Miss Sunshine'. I saw Muriel's Wedding years ago and have always cherished her portrayal in that film.
As soon as I listened to music samples on her band's website, I was taken in in a way that has only happened to me once before, in regards to bands. Her music has a genuine, clear depth. Each listen reveals a different part of a multi-faceted, beautiful, soulful crystal. The music holds heartfelt mysteries and is unabashed. The songs and lyrics are very well-crafted. And her voice is so true in clarity, raw with emotion yet polished by grace - it is unfettered, real, and pretty! I would highly recommend this cd, it's unlike anything I've ever heard before. I look forward to many more listenings as I fall more in love with each listen. 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful:

By M. DALTON - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Beautiful Awkward Pictures [Australian Import] (Audio CD)
...but she can sing and write music too! Beautiful Awkward Pictures is an exquisite piece of work. Mellow, soothing, calm...I'm gonna run out of words. It's just plain beautiful. They're about to start touring out here in Australia. Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!
