No, Really has a beautifully clear, light voice with the confidence and nice projection through the lovely, mellow guitar. I especially liked the guitar in "Floodplain" and the range and reach of Hannah Clemen's vocal abilities. This kind of music and song I would call mellow protest. My favorite was the title song's guitar and voice which were just outstanding. The song, "Beginning of the End," had a lovely solemnity which stood out also. This entire album is excellent art, including the lyrics, along with the musicality and the album cover.

Parabéns pelas melodias, ótimo album, audível, bem boa instrumentação.

As I listen to this album, a couple things come through immediately: clear, strong, unapologetic vocals, clean guitar lines [and a violin, too!] But mostly, I hear a person. I don't pretend to think I know them very well, or that they accurately reflect the flesh-and-blood human who penned the lyrics [as the lyrics seem to take priority over any other consideration; an approach I love dearly]. But I -do- feel confident enough to say that this person [who might not -really- exist the same way the singer does] is a weird, quirky, honest sort, who gets mad as Hell about injustice, but like anyone else, maybe doesn't know how to make anything better, but that won't stop them from saying something about it.
It sounds like a soundtrack for A Softer World, if you read that.
In particular, I liked the sultry shift in "Floodplain", and the violin on "Go" really added to the sound. "Beginning of the End" at first struck me as a little melodramatic, but on closer inspection, I heard a couple details that made it very human, such as millenial belief in the end of humanity followed immediately by going out and partying. The kind of contradiction any ordinary person might do if faced with The End. Mostly, though, I keep listening to "Citizen, Go Back to Sleep". It doesn't stop surprising me how the tone stays [facially] upbeat and friendly through most of the song, even though the lyrics blatantly describe a survailance-fuled police-state.
The only thing I don't care for is how few tracks there are. I can't wait for more.
I'll probably be listening to this album for quite a while.

Красивый вокал.

The Corrs, No, Realy ?
Bien mieux, bravo ! Un peu de rythmique et ce serait génial
