Customer Rating:      Summary: Awesome CD Comment: Very smooth and cool tunes. Nearly every song on the album is great. I would say their newer album (2008) isn't as good, but this album is a must have!
Customer Rating:      Summary: some help with the decision. Comment: Seriously, just buy the album.
With all the cookie-cutter bands popping up left and right, Bitter:Sweet is undoubtedly one of the greatest breaths of fresh air music has seen in a long time. I was immediately hooked from the moment I heard one song, and needed to hear more. This album definitely deserves more than 5 stars.
I won't say comparing them to a band like Esthero is "unfair", I'm just saying, I think they're are in their own vein. Bitter:Sweet takes pretty much every sound you've ever heard, and filters through them to make TRULY unique experience for the listeners. Their creativity shines from brass horns to live DJs, and an exceptionally well-presented female voice. Their sound alone is worth checking out. The other reviewers have more to say about the actual lyrical content, but the band is so good it's not even necessary.
Customer Rating:      Summary: At Last....A New Spin on Downtempo! Comment: I rarely post reviews, but this album was just too amazing to keep it to myself. I came across Bitter:Sweet while lounging around in a martini bar with my husband, and I pounced on the DJ when he started spinning "Bittersweet Faith" to find out who it was! The grooves are sultry; Shana's voice is ethereal and hypnotic. When I hear the sexy grooves, I have the urge to slip on rhinestone stilettos, a little black cocktail dress, and sip my dirty vodka martini while swaying to the seductive grooves. OK, maybe that's getting slightly carried away, but it's perfect to spin after the kids go to bed and grown-up time begins.... ;-)
Customer Rating:      Summary: Fun and easy to enjoy music!!! Comment: First time I came across Bitter:Sweet, was after watching the movie the Devil Wears Prada. I basically loved all the music in it and was looking to buy the soundtrack originally but then did some research on each of the artists included in the album, and after listening to the amazon samplers I decided to buy each artists' album individually.I definitely am happy to be doing just that, I still have some albums left to buy...
Customer Rating:      Summary: Bitter:Sweet Comment: This CD was in perfect condition. The case, as I was told before purchase, was abit worn but it actually looked pretty cool!
Got the CD in a good package and feel very pleased with my purchase, will keep buing for this person in future whenever they have what I want!
