"There
are flashes of humor and of dramatic emotion but the bulk of Hamilton's
writing comments on personal and social issues. Though, at the same
time, I'm pleased to note that by no means does he think himself a
philosopher or self-important. It seems Hamilton is "just" an astute
observer and apt writer." |

"the
record has some amazing points and probably deserves a place in most
music collections (as a result of the strong crossover appeal). " |

"It lacks
the spark, cohesiveness, and genuine love that any great album from
any genre must possess." |

1993 - Island |
"Rid
of Me may not have yielded a slew of hits, but it did solidify
the fact that this was a trio of talented artists who shouldn’t
be ignored. Edgy, hard, strange, and tortured it extreme and difficult
sonically but also beautiful and surprisingly delicate." |

- Island |
"With
an “I don’t care” attitude, she freely frequents the
subjects of sex, love, and religion. Her music is starkly honest and
full of emotions that typify her songs." |

"If there
is one bad thing I can apply to most everything here it would be that
it sounds a bit like adult contemporary pop from the early 1990's.
This isn't to say it is bad, but just maybe a wee bit dated-heck it
reminds me of High School." |

| 2004 - Interscope |
"They
are kinetic and catchy and up until this year’s release of Tyrannosaurus
Hives I failed to really see what separated them from the pack. Now
I know—and I apologize to the masses that I have in the past
flatly ignored regarding this band." |
|
| 1995 - Island  |
"Nothing
about Hoarse or Happens Twice is worth partaking. The album should
never have been made, and the one-album band should never have gotten
any airplay even in Metro Detroit." |
|

- Geffen |
"Love
is not feminine in the least. She growls and she yowls and she screams
her way through the twelve tracks on the album." |
|
1995 - Decca |
"Throughout
this collection, what becomes clear is that Holiday had a gift
for arrangement and wielded an incredible vocal talent. Not just
that, but she also seemed very truly sad. The songs here are outstanding
and while they don’t encompass everything she did they are
still worth checking out." |

"First
and foremost, the band is ambient pop. But, throw in some electronica,
drum and bass, and trip hop and the resulting sound can at times be
complex an unyielding and at others seem trite and clichéd." |
