5 stars Different - But Just as Strong.
Though Dido still sounds unmistakably like herself on her new album it is still obviously very different from her first two. Though some tunes are actually very melodic and catchy, don't expect to find big radio hits like "White Flag" or "Life for Rent".

The tone is generally darker, and many of the songs lyrically deal with theme of loss. Though some fans may be disappointed with Dido's new direction, I'm sure she will win new fans with this new record, which really shows the versatile artist …

2 stars so disappointed
I just discovered Dido about 2 years ago and have been waiting so anxiously for her new album which was rumored to be released a long time ago. I pre-ordered it and am very disappointed. The songs all sound the same and while I'm sure the lyrics might be different, I find myself just tuning it out when it's on, rather than singing along.
