Heartbreak, Redemption and Triumph in Melodic Bliss.......2005-07-08
It's so much better than Daniel's first album, which I really liked! This release is more mature and well thought-out. Sonically, there's really nothing new in this album, but there is definitely more crooning. The lyrics do tell a story for a change and Daniel sounds so real, especially in "Sorry", which is about his sister.
If I have to pick up favorites, they'll be: Holiness, Show me the real you, Sorry, The Way, Don't give'r it all, and Growing up. I am still listening to it nonstop at work, in the car, at home, at the gym,...etc. It's that good :-)
I cannot recommend this album enough. Like most solo British artists, Daniel Bedingfield is extremely underrated and underexposed here in America. I can't believe his songs aren't playing on the radio instead of that hackneyed music we're all sick and tired of.
A very touching well thoughtout album.......2005-05-19
Now as for why I gave it four stars and not five, simply because I loved his dance tracks on his first CD, those aren't really here. But his other songs make up for it!
LOVE THE NEW CD.......2005-03-28
I'm also going to rate the song by 10 the best song
growing up 10/10 good song
complicated 10/10 reggae sound love it love the voice
wrap my words around you 8/10 okay song
all your attention 10/10 one of my favorite song, the chorus is great, very emotional melodies
way 9/10 poppy sound, its good
sorry 10/10 love the song, it was dedicated to his sister
show me the real you 7/10 not my fave song
don't give it all 5/10 no comment
nothing hurts like love 10/10 also my fave, very powerful, love the lyrics
holiness 10/10 you could listen to this song everyday and you don't get sick of it,
all the little children = he has similar song on his first cd title honest question, its only him and the piano
all in all beatiful cd better than the first
Great vocals, some songs lacking.......2005-02-24
It's just too bad more people in the US do not appreciate his talent! If I want to see him in concert this year, I'll have to travel to another continent!
Also, if you like Daniel, his sister Natasha's CD is excellent too. It's another import but worth the extra cost.
Awesome, but not really the best album I've had........2004-12-21
This latest album makes him sound much mature than before, and I miss thw quirky beat of GGTT. I love his first few songs. I'll rate some of them. (out of 10)
Growing up - 7. Nice song.. but the lyrics is quite .. unsatisfactory. No one told me growing up will be this hard baby, no one told me growing up will be this hard.. I mean, the lyrics are just too "duh". No one tells me it's hard too.
Complicated - 8. Fun song, I like it.
My faves have got to be Nothing Hurts Like Love, All Your Attention and The Way.
Buy this album.. it's not bad, if you're his fan.

It's wonderful to have Bernstein back, but the performances fall short.......2006-11-26
For me, the performances themselves fall short. They were often recorded in a rush, sometimes late at night after a summer concert. I know that the Stadium Sym. is actually the NY Phil., but they don't sound particularly fine, and Bernstein's interpreatations, though vigorous, often border on the slapdash. Plowing through Beethoven's 3rd, Dvorak's 9th, Schumann's 2nd, Brahms' 4th and Tchaikovsky's 6th, I found few sparks of originaity, much less genius. This is a tough admission from one of LB's geat admirers, but there you are. The original recorded sound is also a bit thin and harsh.
Come back Lennie, we need you.......2006-02-22
Then there are the performances. I'm not the biggest fan of mono symphonic recordings, but these positively leap down your ears, unmannered, committed and electric. It's hard to believe what was achieved under the hasty recording conditions described in the booklet. The sound is a little fierce, but good enough to make this set a wonderful gift for any open-minded but symphonically ignorant acquaintance. I can easily imagine it turning someone on to classical music.
For Bernstein enthusiasts, it's like owning a gold mine.......2005-06-19
The performances are a revelation, because they demonstrate conclusively that Bernstein did not always "exaggerate" or "overinterpret" great music, as critics frequently claim. His performances here are very, very direct and straightforward, more like Fritz Reiner or Toscanini than like Bernstein.
If this album contained only Bernstein's early performances of these symphonies, it would be interesting, but it might not really attract that much attention, since he re-recorded all of these pieces in stereo in later years, and with the same orchestra.
What makes this set so valuable is that it contains his long out-of-print lectures on these symphonies, and far from what the previous reviewer claims, they never become boring and monotonous. No musician in our time, or maybe even in the history of music, was a better or more articulate and sensitive lecturer on music than Leonard Bernstein. His legendary appearances on the "Young People's Concerts" did more for the appreciation of classical music than all the "Beethoven's Wig" albums combined. (If you don't know what "Beethoven's Wig" is, check it out and shudder at how far music appreciation has fallen since Bernstein's death.)
Bernstein had a unique ability to make classical music accessible to everybody, without ever condescending to the listener or cheapening the music. His lectures on this album, previously only available to 1950's Book of the Month Subscribers (except for part of the Beethoven lecture, which is the only one that Bernstein did re-record in stereo), are invaluable both to music students and to those who are willing to listen. All of the lectures included cover all four movements of the symphonies discussed, except for the Brahms; that one is just as extensive as the others, but it covers only the first movement of the symphony.
However--be warned, the lectures do have a flaw that the symphonies themselves do not, and that is why I have subtracted one star.
The symphony recordings are obviously remastered from magnetic tape, but the lectures have been transferred from LP's. Thus, you will be able to hear an occasional click or pop from time to time, and there is a clearly audible "skip" on the Brahms lecture. It is NOT the CD being defective, or the laser beam on your player skipping; it is clearly the lecture recordings themselves. Deutsche Grammophon, which released this CD set, is very honest about the source of the transfers to compact disc, and is to be commended for this. (They mention it in the last page of the accompanying booklet.) But this shouldn't deter anybody from buying this enormously important Bernstein set.

This is not your American Pop Music.......2005-08-07
You won't find any featured rappers or synthesized vocals on a DB song or album. What you WILL find is unique, beautifully-sung music that puts to shame anything coming out of our domestic music scene. DB takes raw emotions and finds a way to translate them into thoughtful, no-holds-barred musical exhibitions. At times upbeat and almost 'perky' to dark and brooding, DB covers a full range of emotions, vocal styles and musical incarnations and again produces an album that is memorable, distinct and a favorite.
This set is not as immediately catchy as his first, which is one of my all-time favorites, but after repeated listenings you realize that being invited into a true expression of talent and emotion is far more rewarding than an instantly-catchy but quickly forgettable pop hook.
Highly recommended. (PS - it's cheaper to buy it from Amazon.co.uk than to pay the inflated import price on Amazon.com - this is true for virtually all British albums)
Wrapping his words around me.......2005-07-05
In fact I found the whole cd to be like a "step inside the mind of someone with ADD" experience. One minute you have reggae influence,then there's some rock, then a ballad with beautifully orchestrated strings, then acoustic guitar. Cuz that's the way people like us think....we have so many thoughts going on and we're rather impulsive so we want to do it all and at the moment the action/thought is in our head
One can only hope that America starts rebelling against all the "fake" acts and decides to latch onto real talent like what's displayed on this cd.
"Second First Impression" the perfect title for this album.......2004-12-30
First-rate Second Impression.......2004-12-22
Frankly I'm tired of pop albums that sound like they all came from a single music factory - predictable and boring. As such, this album is refreshing in that it completely blows away all pop music conventions and experiments with a multitude of different styles and rhythms. Add to the mix Bedingfield's uniquely raspy voice and it all somehow clicks - again.
While a lot of the songs do sound quite unfamiliar and nowhere near as catchy as the tracks on "Gotta Get Thru This", this albums bears repeated listening and will eventually grow on you if you are willing to give it a chance.
Memorable tracks like "The Way" - a U2-esque track guaranteed to burn up the charts if released as a single; " Complicated" and "Growing Up" give this album an essential rock-ish flavour that saves it from some of the mush that masquerades as love songs - "Nothing Hurts Like Love" and "Wrap My Words Around You" to name a few. Still, I foresee these latter tracks to be potential singles as well, if only to entice the ladies and teenage female fans to come back for more.
All in all, this is a respectable and slick studio effort that still manages to retain the edge that made his debut CD such an enjoyable and memorable record.
Well alive and getting better and better.......2004-12-22
And as with the first album Daniel demonstrates that he is a master at producing different songs for different moods. Drawing on a wide range of sounds and music, everything is yet very original - clearly, he is extremely versatile and broad. The acoustic numbers are very personal and deep, and crown the album like the end of a good book or a good film to complete a story in its entirety. Yes, with arrangements that are second to none, his tunes and lyrics make this album "completely complete"!
This album flows out of a more mature and growing performer. One wonders then what else Daniel is going to come up with next time around? It is undeniable that this energetic and creative genius is here to stay.
So turn the light down, sit down and listen carefully. You're not sure? Put the volume up and gradually discover how awesome this is.
For me, Second First Impressions is unquestionably the "album of the year".
