love that Dido

I'm a fan, love this girl and her music. just wish she had a different name! eveyr time i tell someone i LOVE Dido - they look at me and say "Dildo?" to which i answer - "NO! D I D O ." sheesh.

OK, i have the first album, and i love it. so, when the second came out, had to get it. both are great make-out music CDs. put one on and grab your sweetie. just ask my hubby, Norman - we've kissed to Dido many many times, and more....

SO worth it

This is an excellent CD. Her words ring so true and are very comforting in difficult times. "White Flag" got me through a rough breakup. For those who love beautiful, meaningful words, I recommend this album.

Stoned

I've known who Dido was for awhile (yes, from Marshal M) but I never bought a CD of hers because I mainly listen to electronica or techno if you will. I heard a mix of her song "Stoned" and fell in love with it, so much in fact that I got Life for Rent just to see if maybe it wasn't just a fluke song. I was pleased to learn that it wasn't and in fact "Life for Rent" has now crept it's way up on my playlist. I would compare it to a downtempo/ambient/chillout album which is good because all the songs have the same kinda flow. Now I'm not saying they all sound alike, no I'm just saying it feels like your listening to an album rather than 11 disjointed songs.

-My one gripe is that she sounds SO depressed, like the love of her life committed suicide/cheated on her/beat her, all at the same time. Now I'm no stranger to the world of heartache due to love but you'd think she could at least include some non-depressing lyrics (if cheery one's are out of the question). Still, a great album all-in-all.
