4.0 out of 5 stars regina, regina, 15 Feb 2006
By Mr. G. Scarff "garza" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Expecting a Tori Amos or Bjork clone it was a pleasant surprise to find that this dysfunctional mix of songs and stories sounds more like a blend of Michelle Shocked, Patti Smith and the wonderful Ani Difranco. Regina's confidence, vocal range and swirling piano skills are apparent from the start, the album feel is so close to the live renditions. Spend your time and get to know the songs, its not an easy listen the first time. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tori meets Bjork, 7 Feb 2006
As the title suggests Regina is indeed a strange and enticing mix of the two.

This particular version (CD+DVD) has the added extra of a few bizarre short-films set to Regina’s fine brand of emotional quirk.

The single 'Us' has been getting a lot of airplay and deservedly so. It has a great feel to it, might sound a little like a pianist at a ballet recital to start with, but it soon rolls into some lovely sustained strings and piano.

Basically if you were a fan of early Tori Amos or a fan of early Bjork then I think you will love this album. Please note her sound is not Tori and neither is it Bjork, but from the first listen you will see why I quote these two in order to describe her unique and enthralling sound.

5.0 out of 5 stars A rewarding challenge., 6 Feb 2006
By filthmonkey (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I became aware of Regina Spektor by listening to BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour, on which she was a guest. Her performance of the wonderful Love Affair on the show inspired me to look further into her music. I bought this album as a result and was quickly impressed. It is in essence a harmonious blend of fantastic female vocals singing clever lyrics to jazz piano and unusual melodies. Most refreshingly, none of the tracks on this album are over-produced, and I prefer artists that don't doctor their material unnecessarily so as to pander to the commercial palette. Regina Spektor is Russian by descent, and this is notable as an influence, but is in harmony with that part of her which is American. At times her melodies can be a challenge to listen to if you're not in the mood, but I'm glad I've found an artist who is so simple and unusual, but at the same time clever yet unpretentious. Wonderful stuff. Highly recommended!
