Customer Reviews
You've gotta love Mandy Moore!
Great CD! The only thing I am disappointed in is the version of "Only Hope". It has the boy from the movie talking and interrupting Moore's beautiful singing!!!!! Are all the versions like that? I would like one without that...it's really cheezy. The rest of the tracks are great AND it comes with all her music videos!
More of Moore
This is a good overview of Moore's work through the early 2000s. Granted, she hadn't even been around 5 years as of the release of this album, so there wasn't yet all that much to pick from. Mandy definitely has time to keep developing, keep putting stuff out there. Anyway, this album is a very listenable compilation, not much stuff that blows you away, just enjoyable music. The album does show some of the development of Moore from the bubble-gum stuff to more mature work. The song "In My Pocket" is a very good song and an exemplar of the development beyond bubblegum. It is genuinely different and interesting, with a Middel Eastern groove to it. Another excellent tune is "Senses Working Overtime." It's an excellent melody and very catchy, as are the lyrics. Keep working Mandy.
Forget "Wild Hope"; This Is the REAL Mandy Moore!
I would recommend this disk to anyone who likes the early(and, in my opinion, better) work of Mandy Moore. Here you get early gems like "Candy", and "Walk Me Home". And From "Coverage", you get "Senses Working Overtime", "Have A Little Faith in Me", and her remarkable arrangement, of Carole Kings; "I Feel The Earth Move"; which could easily pass for yet another Santana/Michelle Branch. collaboration.
Not every song here is good, but the ones that are, are worth repeated listenings.
I think Mandy should just stick to singing, as she did here with her early work. She is NOT a songwriter; she just THINKS she is. I don't think "Wild Hope" is very good, all the songs on that album sound the same.
So if you want to hear the REAL Mandy Moore , pick up a copy of this. Accept no imitations(like "Wild Hope").
