Having seen Ellie twice support Little Boots on tour it annoys me that Frankmusik and Fin Dow-Smith (Starsmith) seem to have somewhat s**t on their friend Ms Goulding by overproducing the songs on this album to make themselves look good.
The demo versions of *Wish I'd Stayed* and *Guns and Horses* were better than these album versions - though G&H has suffered less at the hands of Starsmith than WIS at the hands of Frankmusik! Having said that *The Writer* and *I'll Hold My Breath* are much improved and the new track (I say new having followed Ellie's work for a good 6 months already) *Your Biggest Mistake* is great.
Overall I still rate the album highly - but will look forward to the live performances of more stripped down efforts in April. BTW I can't seen the reasoning of championing Marina's work much more than Lights. I have both albums and am struggling to get into *The Family Jewels*.

I've had this album for a few months now and love it!!! Have been listening to it non-stop and it never gets boring.
It's one of those albums where you don't have to wind any songs on because they're all amazing. I recommend Ellie's album to everyone I know.
Stunning debut album, can't wait for the next one!!!

Songs on this album have been knocking around for a while and while some say they have been over produced and ruined i higly disagree this album is beautifully crafted and never misses a beat it flows from one song to the next without falling flat. the lyrics are beautiful and personal yet resonate far more widely with the listener the only problem is at 36 minutes it feels a bit short and leaves you wishing for an extra song or two but overall spetacular debeut.

Easy going listening
Not as good as Ellie's most recent album but once you've listened to it a few times it is great to have on in the background.

Ellie's Lights
Quite a bit of overlap with her other albums, so a bit disappointing. Perhaps she is an acquired taste which I will acquire after further listening.
