The title notwithstanding, this debut from the former Faithless singer is pretty angelic-sounding stuff. You're bound to think of Sinéad O'Connor, but the comparison is as misleading as it is inevitable. Granted, Dido's ethereal vocals here frequently recall O'Connor; but Dido's music -- while inventively augmented with electronics -- is generally less adventurous.

That said, the fact remains that this is an auspicious and highly listenable album -- atmospheric, seductive, and beautifully produced and sequenced. [The late 2001 re-release features several bonus tracks and a bonus CD with audio and video tracks, including "Take My Hand," "Christmas Day," and remixes of "Here with Me," "Thank You," "Hunter," and "Take My Hand."] ~ Jeff Burger, Rovi
