5.0 out of 5 stars More highly paced than before, and still very addictive., 16 May 2006
This is a consistently high-energy album, with pretty much every track built around the electric combination of Carina's vocals and rock guitar sounds. The music here is most comparable to the opening tracks of her previous album, The Disconnection. The songs all feel very original and different from one another, but the album manages to maintain it's own distinct character when compared to her previous two albums, The First Blood Mystery and The Disconnection.

Where The Disconnection started you in one place and took you somewhere utterly different as the album came to a close (a good thing!), Slow Motion Addict starts and ends with songs that could have come from somewhere near Garbage's Version 2.0.

The jazzy acoustic arrangements of the first record have made way for a more developed, commercial and accessible sound (without the glossiness that PJ Harvey's 'Stories..' album may have arguably suffered). There is still a satisfying rawness and a heartfelt edge to much of the music, particularly in some of the later tracks like Slow Motion Addict and January Heart.
Carina's vocals are as good if not better than before, with plenty of thrilling Carina Round moments that quicken the senses - there may be none of the sparsely arranged tracks of previous albums, but she is still spellbinding.

The lyrics, whilst more accessible, are again very poetic, exploring similar themes such that anyone touched by her previous work (as I am) will enjoy this album a great deal. Buy this if you are at all interested. The depth of this music is simply incredible, with a ridiculous amount of replayability.

5.0 out of 5 stars still amazingly haunting, 21 Jun 2007
By G. Agass - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I remember this girl singing in Wetherspoon-type pubs in the west Midlands in 1997/98, with my then-boyfriend taking photos for a local news agency. She was amazing then, absolutely breathtaking, and still is now. Highly HIGHLY recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Superb, 12 April 2008
By IWFIcon - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Whether or not you're that excited about Glenn "Alanis Morisette" Ballard is at the production helm is a matter of personal taste but he can have a tendency to smother some artists and for a while it seems like he's going to chalk up another victim in the shape of Round; but fear not. Round is far too wilful and self-minded to allow this for too long.

This does make for a somewhat hit and miss experience. Whilst the likes of Stolen Car (with its hugely radio-friendly rock guitar riff) and Take The Money (which gives you everything you'd want from Round based on her previous output) there are the likes of Ready To Confess (where, sadly, it could be anyone delivering the lines given how the production smothers any individuality out of the proceedings).

Thankfully, most of the "duff" songs are done with early and by the time you hit the aforementioned Take The Money, the ride to the end of the album is a thrilling and exhilarating one. Any attempts to homogenise Round have obviously failed. She's as individual as ever. And in this form she's well worth a listen.
