 4.5 Stars - Fantasic Album June 5, 2008

I have not heard KT's first album, but as a new fan, I can tell you that this album is great. Her faster, more pop tracks are her strongest. The slower songs toward the end are a good way to end the album, but don't pack the power of the other songs.
Stand Out Tracks: "Funnyman" and "Saving My Face"
Very good mix of music, moods May 4, 2008

Talented Tunstall offers up a nice variety of musical selections in this enjoyable collection. My personal favorite is "Hold On," which is unfortunately short (under three minutes) and I do admit to preferring her upbeat tracks.
It is a well produced CD and shows off not only her talent, but the promise for future albums and a long career to come.
It's not THAT drastic..... March 25, 2008

This is a tough album to classify...the cover [nice legs], and opening cut would lead you to expect really "hard rock", and, in spots, it is. Overall though, the record is far from "hard", and is actually kind of "soft" at times.
My favorite cut is "White Bird", which has a jazz sound. The recording closes with "Someday Soon" and "Paper Aeroplane", which are rather mellow. Miss Tunstall is a pretty girl from "across the pond", who has a very pleasing voice. If you want to get rocked, but not too hard, you might just like it.
4-1/2 stars -- I guess I'm the only one that doesn't think the cover art is supposed to signify something March 5, 2008

After KT Tunstall delivered the near-classic album Eye to the Telescope, I heard that she was releasing a new album barely a year later, and sometimes when an artist does that, the results aren't necessarily bad but still not quite as stellar. Well, my worries were put to rest after hearing Drastic Fantastic.
You won't find anything QUITE as catchy as "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" on here ("Hold On" comes pretty darn close, though), but there are still plenty of quality tracks. Such tracks include metaphorical tales like "Paper Aeroplane" and "White Bird", as well as more "standard" fare like "If Only", or even the more troublesome vibe of "Saving My Face". Speaking of poignant tracks, the mellow, acoustic "Beauty of Uncertainty" also shines.
Even though "I Don't Want You Now" made me say just that, Drastic Fantastic shows that KT Tunstall shot two for two because the album is indeed fantastic. Pick it up.

Her hoarse voice make the difference and the style of her music please me very much since I heard for the first time "Suddenly I See" and "Black Horse and The Cherry Tree". This album is great. I recommend.
