Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: If the art of the female singer-songwriter revolves around coffee-table soliloquies then Eye to the Telescope--the debut album from Edinburgh-born chanteuse/guitarist KT Tunstall--is a pleasing mediation between the traditional demands of brooding egocentricity (espresso) and frothy commerciality (cappuccino). KT Tunstall has star quality. "Suddenly I See" is an effortlessly liberating pop fillip while, conversely, "False Alarm" redresses ABBA's "The Winner Takes It All" for losers who had nothing to lose to begin with. However, Tunstall isn't entirely convinced by the compromise ("I'm struggling to cater for the space I'm meant to fill" she sings) and "Miniature Disasters"--one of several strong numbers showcasing her aptitude for wrapping up pop tunes in either folky bluesiness or ponderous jazz--catalogues her desires for unfettered self-expression. The opening cut "Other Side Of The World" might sound like Dido without the giftwrapped grief (she's none too flattered with the comparisons) but Eye to the Telescope is spiritually closer to Carole King and Elvis Costello than Katie Melua. And that's no bad thing. --Kevin Maidment

As luck would have it,I like every song on the album. It is a nice change from the status quo.

Excellent!
I absolutely love KT Tunstall! When I listen to her music, I want to play a guitar and sing with her. She's refreshing and fun. Her delightful songs brighten my day. I'm so glad I bought this excellent cd.

This album is addictive
I have heard of KT Tunstall in passing before, but I avoided this album for a while, thinking it was just more emo music I could do without. Then I saw a Youtube video that used her song "Suddenly I See" and well, that was what happened to me. I saw why people liked her. I checked out this album and found all the songs were different, each with its tone and mood. Now I listen to this album more than any others.

How can people like this garbage?
This is the worst kind of movie soundtrack pop garbage I have ever heard. There is absolutely nothing new here. This is the same kind of worthless music that record companies keep putting out telling us to buy, and the only reason people think it's any good is because they want to be part of the lemming crowd. No one wants to admit the emperor has no cloths. This album is terrible, DON'T BUY IT!!!!

Relaxed and laid back
The songs are a bit slow for my taste but cant deny the vocal talent and song writing. I prefer Drastic Fantastic more because of the lyrical content and more upbeat sound. My favorite tracks:
1. Other Side Of The World
2. Another Place To Fall
3. Under The Weather
5. Miniature Disasters
7. Universe & U
8. False Alarm
10. Stoppin' The Love
11. Heal Over
12. Through The Dark
