Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: I'M "AMAZED"..... Comment: Sometimes I have to hide this CD from myself for months, because it will simply take over any and all players as well as my head for excruciating long periods of time. Ahh, sweet, sweet Haunted torture...I found myself immensely intrigued with the running thread of her father and her family's past. Truly one of my top 10 favorite albums of all time--and that's really saying something because I am an all-genre kind of gal. The only thing I'd heard previously from Poe was 'Angry Johnny' because it smothered the airwaves back when I actually listened to radio. Then I found this, purely by accident...although I have a feeling there's nothing accidental about any of Poe's work. The CD was released in conjuction with her brother's book The House of Leaves, and the two complement each other subtly yet effectively. That book is quite a commitment, so take it slowly. Brilliant. Customer Rating: Summary: Bewitching Comment: In the musical realm, there is feminine and masculine, Yin and Yang. While this is very much a 'Feminine' work, it manages to appeal to a masculine listener a lot more then, perhaps Sara McLaughlin. I wouldnt go as far to say as it's 'Pop-y' as some reviewers did, as much as I would say it is a very diverse album. Albums like this generally tend to capture the interest of a diverse audience, and are in turn thought of as 'mainstream'. Yeah, so it's not as snarling and dripping with passionate angst like Hello. Whats here is a passion of another kind. Overall, the melodies are lush and beautiful, the lyrics enveloping, and the progression of the album tracks perfectly placed. If you can listen to 'Hey Pretty', 'Wild', 'Haunted', or really ANY of the tracks on this album and think 'Emotionally void, too mainstream, contrived', then go back to listening to G.G. Allen, you elitist prick. Or was Troubled Troubadour too commercial for you? Customer Rating: Summary: It is one of those albums that is great all the way through. Comment: This album is great! Everyone has special cd's that they just love every song on it, and this one is mine! Customer Rating: Summary: Just buy it. Comment: Truly one of the most provacative and cranial of the 4000 albums that I have. Customer Rating: Summary: One of my favorites Comment: Diverse enough that you aren't fumbling for the Fast Forward button all the time, Haunted is a wonderful mix of Alternative/Pop/and something else I just can't put my finger on. It's a nice eclectic mix made after the death of her father. You really can feel the emotion in it, but it's not overrun with tributy songs of grief. In fact, the whole thing is a great 50/50 mix between this strange almost goth grieving thing and up tempo foot tapping good times. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: Give Poe credit for overcoming obstacles and delivering a second album as ambitious and loaded as Haunted. Extending over 15 wildly diverse tracks linked together by ambient interludes and spooky tape splices of old cassette recordings featuring the singer's late father, documentary filmmaker Tad Danielewski, the album shows the songstress moving effortlessly through ethereal folk-hop ("Haunted"), Shania Twain-style country rock ("Walk the Walk"), and flamenco-infused balladry ("Spanish Doll"). The only constant through the turbulence--emotional and otherwise--remains her desperately romantic voice and its desire to bid her father a proper farewell at every turn. --Jaan Uhelszki
