Customer Reviews of Blurring the Edges

With that said, let's talk about 'Blurring the Edges'. I've had this CD for over a year now, and I never get tired of it. Meredith Brooks is all about straight-up in your face rock-n-roll laced with smart pop hooks. She doesn't feel the need to pretend to be a Gen-X'er with a chip on her shoulder just to sell records. What you get when you buy this record is an honest portrait of an honest woman. And she can play the HECK out of that guitar! Meredith is clearly having the time of her life here, and you can't help but crank it up and enjoy. I, for one, am anxiously awaiting her new album 'Deconstruction' as well.

*SIGH.* I didn't mention even that she's a solid writer all the way around.

Top cuts: "I Need", "Pollyanne", "Watched You Fall".

Not just another angry girl
Meredith Brooks unfortunately will be lumped into the group of "angry girls" with nothing to say. Sadly, this is far from what she actually achieves on "Blurring...". She shows her musical depth with eight or nine outstanding tracks that never tire. Many people only know Brooks for "bitch", but they never get to hear her other gems like "polyanne" and "somedays". Angst is Brooks' specialty, but she controls it well for her ballad of hypothetical love "What Would Happen." Brooks proves herself as a great songwriter on "Blurring..." This album far surpassed all my expectations, and unfortunatly many people take her sometimes simple lines as too simple. "Bitch" is not, as many people mistakenly think, about Brooks being a bitch. She uses the song to express the fact that she can be so many things as a woman and it shouldn't change how people view her. This cd rocks...don't pass it up. Don't miss "What Would Happen", it's a killer track hidden behind Brook's hard front

SOMEDAYS ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS, SOME DEBUTS TOO.
Wassup bros!, if you're reading this, either your a hardcore fan of Meredith or your a casual liker of the girl anthem "Bitch", so, wassup with this, is it good?, well, it's hard to describe an album that includes sucha massive hit like "Bitch2, yes like it or not, "Bitch" was a stunning track that crowded the radio waves of the world with the infectuos beats, and cliché lyrics about woman independence. But what happen with the other tracks, that by the way weren't produced by the same guy that touch the leading track Geza X, all the next joints, are in fact okay tracks, that to put it in perspective sound like demos, but with predictible lyrics, that sometimes fall in sillyness and obviously reactions, but simply enough that the album gets a average listen, it's not a bad album, it's just not as good as the leading single, but some track that stand out out of the crowd are, "Somedays" although is obvious, has an amazing arragements, "What Would Happen" the most elaborated in lyrics, is a pretty provocative song, and "Stop" though it was better the Radio Version, this one, is okay, and has the same driven lyrics, the second single "I Need" has a rock vibe to it, but the lyrics are just silly. You can understand the difference between all the tracks, but they just sound like work in progress and are soon more forgeattable, is sad to make a comparison, but if you consider that byt those year Jewel, Alanis and Sheryl were around with strong albums, this effort sounded boring and not innovative, but know with a deep listen you can tell that, Meredith Brooks, is a rocker, but her lyrics are predictible, her voice is not superb and her delivery sounds sometimes silly, but her debut can be tame and listenable with a good heart, it's not that bad at all, it's just Night Bar Music.
