"When faced with the choice to love or deceive, therein lies the path to the heroes and the thieves"
25 Nov 2007
Format:Audio CD
At last! Vanessa Carlton has produced an album that sounds as though she has progressed and matured since her last release. Please understand that, by saying this, I am not completely slating her 2 previous albums, BE NOT NOBODY and HARMONIUM, I am merely saying that HEROES AND THIEVES shows the kind of progression from a young lady, growing and developing into her talent. Although Vanessa's piano playing has never been questioned - it is impeccable - HARMONIUM disappointed me slightly because I felt that the lyrics let the incredible music down.
HEROES AND THIEVES sees Vanessa still maintianing her amazing standards on the ivory keys, yet I feel that the songs have a much maturer sound to them than those on HARMONIUM, her second album. From tracks such as "Come Undone", where she highlights that "there are people in this lifetime that we should never meet", to tracks like "Fools Like Me" where she warns that "the dreamers get punished most by truth", demonstrates a new insight into life and the workings of the human heart.
A very accomplished album - I hope that this progression continues and then her fourth release should be breathtaking!

This is a much better album than Vanessa Carlton's previous one "Harmonium" and I would expect people with a wide range of musical tastes,and of different age groups to like these songs -they have light, fluent,fun and familiar musical themes,good lyrics and you can listen to them time after time.There are songs where her piano playing skills dominate(though never as much as they do on the cd "Be Not Nobody")but for the most part the piano has become part of a more general,richer sound on the tracks recorded here.I haven't heard anything released by anyone else doing pop or rock as good as this,so far this year.It is instantly likeable and has staying power - it should be on your cd player for ages.

Every album by Vanessa Carlton just gets better and better, without a single song that lets down. I found Harmonium to be quite superior to Be Not Nobody and didn't think it could get any better but it has.
Vanessa Carlton's collaboration with Stevie Nicks really brings two of the most enchanting female singer/songwriters of the last century together in perfect harmony.
It's such a shame that her albums don't get publicised better. I just hope she keeps on making music because it sounds like she almost gave up after Harmonium.

Enchanting
The third time's definitely a charm for singer/song-writer Vanessa Carlton, who grants three wishes for the listener with her latest album.
