Product Description: Feist is the solo project of Canada's Leslie Feist, a prolific artist who has also played in one capacity or another with Broken Social Scene, Kings of Convenience and half a dozen other bands. The Reminder, her third release, comes from the same well of quiet, appealing songwriting, and delicate vocalizations that made 2004's Let It Die such a sweet treat. This one is a bit more hushed and ballad heavy, closer to Cat Power than Peaches (with whom Feist has also worked with in the past) but maintains an indie-minded blend of confessional pop, jazzy folk, and lo-fi torch songs. The comparatively upbeat single "My Moon My Man" splits her voice off into unexpected harmonies, just dissonant enough to stick in your head. It's hard to predict where her melodies are going to end up; "Brandy Alexander" starts with a simple snap-pulse, and gradually unfolds into a cathartic chorus of sweeping vocal overlays. Throughout, the record profits from a simple, unfussy aesthetic that keeps the production minimal and the emphasis squarely on Feist's cracking, wistful vibrato. Everything sounds deliberate, but not obsessed over, like an e-mailed wedding invitation. It's a low-pressure vibe, welcoming and content to linger. And linger you will. --Matthew Cooke

1,2,3,4...ok now go away and eat something.
After hearing 1,2,3,4 like 1,234 times and seeing her pale skeletal picture everywhere I have had enough Feist for 50 years. Who would spend like $30 to sit through an entire Feist concert at a medium sized venue? Feist is a One Hit Wonder. Dowload the single- don't be a sucker and buy the cd.

pretty good
this cd's on a lot at work, and i have to say that it isn't that bad to listen to. if left to my own devices, i would probably only listen to one or two songs of my own volition, but the cd in itself has a nice easy flow to it. some songs can be rather melancholy if you're in the appropriate mood, but on the whole i'd say it's a light-hearted, easy-going album. at the very least worth a listening to, even in passing.

enjoyable
I really loved this album. Feist keeps getting better and better for me. If you like this you might want to check out the remixes album, It's awesome. 'I Feel It All' is my favorite on this.

Overrated
This CD appears on many critics lists for best music of 2007. On some lists it was ranked as the BEST CD of the year. I don't know what they were listening to... or smoking... but this set of songs is average, at best. The lyrics are pedestrian and the music doesn't go anywhere.

Feist Rocks!
This CD is great. I recommend seeing her live though, as it makes you appreciate her music even more.
