Summary: Totally awesome and innovative guitar
Comment: If you want to hear new things from an acoustic guitar, this album, and King's Legs to Make Us Stronger are the ticket. Kaki is extremely talented. I'm eagerly awaiting to hear more music from this stunning artist. Very unconventional, so maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but I love it!

Summary: love it
Comment: Its artistic and beautiful...if you like the "plastic" popular music and feel that a song should have A point and not many points than dont buy this cd. Its been said that its unfocused but i feel it is very focused on the feeling at the time...Her songs are like a dream vacation packed into 4 minutes.. ...if you like music to stimulate every emotion in a short period of time then go for it...but if you choose not to think fast enough then don't buy it... I also love the raw sound of the recording.. So stimulating, it takes me away to my memories of chilling with friends sipping dark brew, and letting the music go while hitting record.

Summary: Kaki carries the torch (and its an ADAMAS!)
Comment: Kaki is a phenomenon. The very fact that she perplexes some listeners (like Hedges did) is good. NOT smmoth, NOT new age. She brings the freshness of youth to a wonderful synthesis of "newer" techniques that just jump out at you. I'll give her just shy of five stars because she needs some room to grow. I'm thrilled that the wonderful Adams (cousin of Ovation) is also getting some of the glory it deserves. Fantastic!

Summary: a lump of coal in my Christmas sock
Comment: Reecived this as a gift on Christmas. Never heard of Kaki King before.
Can't make any sense at all out of this sound (can't even bring myself to call it "music"). It's just a lot of aimless, unfocused, and shapeless sound. Sometimes she gets a rhythm going, but then she loses it, and the entire piece falls apart. This happens in several tracks.
There is not a single melody anywhere on this CD. How can anyone record an entire CD with a complete absence of melody? What is the point of that?
It's like writing a novel with a lot of loose words and phrases, but nary a complete sentence. Just lots of words, but no story, no characters, no plot. It's pointless.
This CD is pointless.
There are so many truly fantastic acoustic guitarists out there. This poor girl is no match for any of them. I much prefer Muriel Anderson to Kaki King.
This is a very weak effort. This music should never have been released. What a shame.
