 |  | Just as great a performer as a producer!!! |  |
Linda Perry followed up the "Four Non Blondes" album with a winner. In my eyes (and ears) she is the female Icon to come out of the nineties. From rock and roll singer/songwriter, to borderline hip/hop producer Linda Perry is about as versatile as you get.
On a scale on 1 to Eddie Vedder... She's a 10!!!
December 21, 2007With a cd collection in excess of 3500, this is one of the Top 5 CD's I would save in the event of a fire!!! This is a definite Desert Island Disc. I can't think of another cd so filled with emotion. It's almost impossible to NOT be able to relate to this cd in some way. I only wish Linda was doing her own recording instead of producing (which she is EXCELLENT at). I long to be moved by another CD like this. If you like melancholic, ethereal, moody music, this is a FANTASTIC cd. This CD by Linda Perry was sorely underappreciated!! Hit EBAY. ASAP...try and snag yourself a copy of this truely AWESOME cd.
June 20, 2004Like probably everyone, I first heard "Linda Perry" in the group "4 Non Blondes", and while that bands only album was more pop-rock, this one is just as good. It's a little more singer-songwriter, giving attention to the music, as much as the singing. I like every song on here, even "Fruitloop Daydream", but the better ones are "Success", "Fill Me Up", and "Too Deep". This might be her only album, being that now she devotes her time to writing and producing. Maybe if she sang more on "Pink's" albums, those would be good too.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In Linda Perry's case, it's all in the ear. As an artist, she has an exceptional voice--powerful, strong, emotive, and unbelievably beautiful. It's wonderful to hear a voice like hers--strong. Her's is the double, triple, quadruple antithesis of Britney Spears who has a weak, vulgar sounding, fingers-on-a-chalkboard voice.
As a songwriter and strictly as such, Linda Perry and her cd, "In Flight," are worth 5 stars. As entertainment, "In Flight" is really only worth a 2 or 3. It's slow. Dark. Brooding. The cd is the type songwriters make when they have something to say. Some would even call it the type of cd made to satisfy the artist's ego. It would have been great if all the reviewers of "In Flight" had mentioned the slow-tempo of each and EVERY song on this cd. It might have steered me away from buying it. Don't get me wrong, this cd is worth owning on some levels, especially, if you are a music collector or a fan of Ms. Perry's. But, for the need and wanting to be entertained, buy something else. Don't waste your hard-earned money on a cd that is slow-tempoed, dark in sound, and where the songwriter truly writes what is on her mind and in her heart and soul.
Exploring the human psyche is important for personal growth. But, sometimes, I don't particularly want to hear about another's growing pains. I have enough of my own to transcend in this life. Sometimes all I want is to have a good beat to tap my foot and whacky lyrics to yell out at the top of my voice. April 1, 2003
