this is absolute rubbish pop. there is not 1 decent track. they seem to have gone out of their way to create the most ANNOYING synthesizer tones ever! they seem to be a awful clone of all saints, the spice girls and eternal
November 23, 2002This stunningly superb debut album received various degrees of critical acclaim upon its release in Britain - some loved it, and some hated it. I am from the former. The band consists of two girls, Karen and Shelley Poole (daughters of Brian Poole from The Tremolos), who write all of their own music along with their brother. So you see, they're not like most pop music. Said to influence the early 90's band, Shampoo, Alisha's Attic have constantly reinvented themselves.
The first of three studio albums (plus three B-Sides and Rarities albums), it is partly influenced by a kind of Alanis Morisette mentality. The majority of songs here are about relationships busting up or in the flame of passion. Such intense emotions on each song makes each track spectacular. The stand-out track would probably have to be 'I Am, I Feel', their first single, although it's always a good sign when album tracks such as 'White Room' and 'I Won't Miss You' are just as good as the singles. At times it can be a very bizarre album - such as the hilarious 'Personality Lines', a skit on help-lines - but it all blends together perfectly to create an image of what is really the greatest band to have come out of Britain in ages.
And one other thing, I met Karen in London, and she's lovely :) December 11, 2001

Of the three albums the girls have released this one is the best. The blend of great vocals, harmonies, excellent writing talents and the relaxing mood of the album leads to an amazing listening experience. Some of the best songs on here were never released as singles, such as "Just The Way You Like It" and "Stone In My Shoe" A brilliant band with huge talent
August 31, 2001Finally, the perfect blend of meaningful lyrics and catchy melody. Alisha's Attic will delight fans of all ages, guaranteed, and their insight will make you feel. You will find yourself in their songs.
