So here it is my humble review, excuse me for my english :P
First of all i' like to say that this album was a real surprise to me. We've been able to listen same samples before, but listen to it full..was completely different, in a good way. The album has a clear concept from prologue to epilogue. The sound is neat, has Brodbeck signature definitely.
Giving Up the Ghost is a brilliant opening, one of my personal favorites. Very well writen, catchy, grabs you from the very first listen. Lullaby is just beautiful. Decandence has to be a single, radio hit for sure. Love the lyrics, music is strong and defined. Stella Jane is all about power, Raven voice is great here. Ballerina In A Music Box is epic, sounds like a soundtrack. Now we get to The Window, best song from entire album for me. Outstanding vocals and guitars, pure rock and roll power. Then we have Winter Blossom, a great ballad all in black and white, dark, melancolic, sweet, hopeful, perfect mix. Angel it's a nice love song. Lotus definitely cheers you up when you listen, very emotional. No Fairytale it's a great song for closing the album, i feel it like Winter Blossom second chapter.
I loved the album...i guess you should know by now. I'm sure it'll have the recognition it deserves. I'm really glad we have the chance to have this promo, it's an honour. I think we now can be sure we have a great artist among us. So yes, she can sing, she can write...pretty awesome. All my best wishes for this year! I hope we can see Raven performing live, that would be a whole new level :D

I really enjoy listening to the album. I was hooked with the "Decadence" teaser, and love the entire song. You remind me of Pat Benatar mixed with Shania Twain. The haunting high notes in the middle of "Ballerina" are awesome!! I'd really like to hear some more hard driving rock songs from you though. Keep up the great work lady. You have an awesome voice and I can't wait to hear more from you. :)

Raven, your album is beautiful...your voice is amazing. I thought it so, particularly with Winter Blossom, which is my favorite! you can really hear your talent for immediate change in pitch from alto to soprano effortlessly with a natural mix of sultriness. To sum it all in one word... PHENOMENAL!

I love to sit and listen to the CD in the dark. I just close my eyes and let the Angelic soothing tones of her voice take me to the place where she is mentally when she is performing it.
I was a performer for many years, and have performed with some really great talent, but her quality of pitch and tone are just amazing.
I am not just one for listening to the music, I want to know the meaning, the reason for her communicating this to the world. So for me it is a great chance for Ms Quinn to tell me a story, or even if it is just a moment frozen in time. It is Amazing. I would have to say that The Window is the one that hits me the hardest, but you will probably have more luck with Decadense or Winter Blossom as a single.
I am going to have to get a second one because I am wearing this one out....lol
Ms. Quinn You have exceptional talent, and I know in my heart if you work your tale off you are going to go places. Thank you for bringing me into your world.

Raven, YES!!! I believe you will become an Icon of American Music in the next year. I'm thrilled to hear your beautiful, talented voice while I tool around the backroads in my Pickup!!! Winter Blossom holds a place in my heart, as well as The Window, Ballerina in a Music box, and of course Decadence. All your songs are great Raven, and I'm proud to call you friend!

Got the album just yesterday in the mail box. It was really exciting to have it in my hands, and I really felt lucky to be one of the first French to hear it all. So here are the comments I can make after having listened to it quite a good number of times ..
My favorites definitely are Ballerina in a music box, Lullaby and Angel. Otherwise, I think the prologue and epilogue are brilliant. Giving up the ghost is a good choice as first song, the rythms put you directly in the special atmosphere of the CD. Then, Lullaby. The lyrics are definitely very moving. I was surprised at first by Decadance. I had not imagined the beginning like that but was soon seduced by it. It's just so catchy .. I would agree on the fact that it should be a single. Stella Jane was The song I couldn't put a name to. I had heard it in a preview and had been uselessly looking for the name .. but ... hadn't been able to find it. So I was more than pleased to hear it all with a title. The song Ballerina in a music box really speaks to me. I believe it is the most powerful song of the album ; perhaps not due to rythms but rather to the lyrics. The second verse is really the part I prefer. I can't clearly be objective on that but I would tend to think that it would make a nice single too. Then .... The window was definitely a good surprise as I wasn't first very attracted by it ; but it showed to be nice at the end. Winter blossom was a surprise too .. the lyrics and the rythms make it sound definitely soft. It's a great song, really. Angel, was really The song I didn't know. But as I said at the beginning, it wasn't long before I fell in love with it. Lotus I would keep it for when I walk to school in the morning, it's the kind of song that motivates me and gives me the strength to face a double science class (which I loathe). And finally No fairytale is great. I can't say anything more on that cause I think it's just brilliant. I say all that honesly. What's more, these songs and your voice mixed together are what makes this atmosphere that i think is so special. And I love this atmosphere, somewhere between the dark and the light, happiness and sadness...
So really, it's a nice album. I will definitely speak about it around me, you can take it for granted.
(please excuse any mistake in my English :/)

Alright my turn! I got the Cd during the holidays but I was so busy that I did not have time to listen to it so I added it to my ipod to listen to it on my way to work... I don't know much about music, i've been listening to the same bands since I was 12, im now 27 :-P so its just my personal opinion! If I offend anyone with my 'critics' im sorry it is not my intention at all!!
Giving up the Ghost : one of my favs! The lyrics are super catchy, that could definitely be a hit single on the radio! Its a great song to start the album, it makes us eager to hear the rest!!
Lullaby: don't like it at all. I think it does not reflect Raven's more Rock 'N' Roll style, it more seems like a Mariah Carey song or something. Its a bit too 'pop' for my taste...
Decandence: Another of my favs! it rocks!! I love the music, the rhythm, the lyrics its a very catchy song. Another hit on the radio for sure! Great job on this one :)
Stella Jane: Another great one! The rhythm is very catchy its a very good rock n rool song. Reminds me of Pat Benatar!! Its a great one!!
Ballerina in a music box: Beautiful!! a great ballad!! The part at 1:55 is absolutely amazing Raven! Your voice is beautiful and clear!!
The Window: its a good song, but i dont like the lyrics much.
Winter Blossom: Another of my favs! Somehow it reminds me of a xmas song but i love it! The lyrics are beautiful, its a beautiful love song...a little gem on the album!
Angel: Not one of my favs. I feel like its the continuity of Winter Blossom, but Winter Blossom is already great the way it is!
Lotus: Don't like. Too much piano it does not catch me at all :-(
No Fairytale: it does not catch me at all :-(
So honestly Raven its a great album!!!!!!! Its my type of music, and I was in need of something new to learn by heart! I love the emphasis on dreams, knights, fairy tales, fantasy and all!! I will definitely play it around to help you!! I hope to see you in 2010 Raven, and im sure you will go very far!! Im sure you are soon to embark on a great journey Raven!!
