Toasterman 1234 - I listened to this because of the commercial...

I heard "The Story" on one of GM's 2008 olympic commercials, I don't know how many of us did, and I was stunned. I was reminded so much of Feist (who I also heard of on a commercial first), it is just so beautiful. In the song, I think she falls off a little bit at the end, but quickly rights herself. Kudos!!!

charleygirlford - Very Unique

Brandi Carlile is different, and refreshing. I highly reccomend this.

frog1234 - hey some help!

hey i was wondering if anyone on here has gotten the song "The Story" and if it's not that good after a while? thanks! i wanna get it but i worry it will get boring or old, so plz tell me! thanks!

If_Only_You - Oh wow....

Such a strong sophomore achievement....strong vocie...amazingly unique...I love Turpentine and the Story.

profcrispy - shame about the lyrics

Brandi Carlile's voice is extraordinary, for its timbre and its expressiveness and its range. The melodies are wonderful, at once traditional and original. But the lyrics are embarassing: sadly adolescent considering the strength and maturity of the rest. "I've been bitter and jaded; I'm alone" ("My Song"): lines like this could be used in a class on how not to write. You can write a good song about being bitter, jaded, and alone: this is more like a song about how a 16-year-old child of privilege would try to be bitter and jaded and alone on the grounds that it seems hip. And a good song about being b, j, and a would not use those words: it would show us what that's like.

HeartMcFLY - The Story that I don't get!

Okay, well she does sound kinda new but, I just don't like her music at all. Even though she is better than miley cyrus, i still don't like her. click yes if you agree.

RachelQZ - A Voice Unleashed

Brandi's voice and songs are passionate, soulful and utterly unleashed. This is the best album I have heard in many years and don't know how I missed her first album - an oversight since corrected. This album truly is amazing from the first to the last song.

KyuzoCool - absolutely one of the most underrated artists ever

The Story is without the best album I have ever heard and the best album I own. it's a shame that someone exploding with talent isn't more popular.

8travel8 - This is NOT Rock

This is not rock. This is Carly simon carol king (young kids go look them up)_ Folky Emo-cry baby music. COuntry mayber but NOT ROCK. I tunes do your customers a favor, try listening to the album.

Gabriel Caro - Amazing album

The fact that I ended up buying her complete discography after watching a car commercial attests at how talented Brandi is. And what a voice! She can go from sweet to raw to rapture in the course of a single song. I've been listening to her songs for over a week and I'm still moved. An exceptional artist. Buy this album, you will not regret it.

GameBouy - Superb!!

I first heard of The Story from that GM commercial on tv and I just had to find out who that was. Brandi carlile has that amazingly haunting voice. Very real, very raw and so emotional. Love love love!

EAPlover - Grows on you!

Brandi's music grows on you! At first for me, I didn't like her music, but after a while, I started to like it! She has some pretty good songs that I love now! Trust me, listen to all of her songs before you judge her music! My favorite song: The Story. Best song on here!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Press yes if you agree!!!!!!!

maxmarie - better live, but still amazing

I was lucky enough to hear Brandi Carlile live for the first time opening for the Indigo Girls, and I was blown away. While I love her album and find it heartwrenchingly beautiful, she was even better and more charismatic live, and if you ever get the chance to see her, don't pass it up.

Stef Smith 77 - Brilliant

Every song on this album is excellent. Her music has such soul and emotion to it. I got this album as a gift and it is always top on my playlist.

ChiefinZzchadlynnZz - WOW!!!

I love when I just run right smack into amazing music and while searching for, "Have You Ever," I discovered an entire album of GOLD! She is absolutely amazing, this is who deserves the recognition! I can't even explain how excited I am to drive down the roads in the fall BLARING Brandi Carlile!!! Love it!!!

musiclife - Amazing

I've had this album since may 2007. It's been one of the best purchase's i have ever made on itunes. I can't wait for the next album.

thatLizard - Raw, Real and Necessary

I stumbled upon Brandi Carlile on accident, but I'm so glad I did. This is the best album I've bought in a long time. She is unlike so many artists around today - in a good way! Unique, Lovely and Insightful music that I think everyone can appreciate.

EPH69 - Fantastic Complex Singer

Brandi Carlile is a breath of fresh air in a room full of stagnant music. I have to say that her music exemplifys what is good about rock music. The lyrics are solid and relevant while at the same time it is accompanied by music that only builds on each and every song. Take the time to listen to the title song, "The Story," if you like that then the rest of the album is for you, so buy it and support good music that puts the art in to rock and roll.

fjid - Again Today

I heard "again today" at my dance recital, and I LOVE IT! itunes doesnt do it justice though because the song is so much more upbeat in the middle of the song and itunes played the slow beginning. it's a GREAT song and very emmotional.

Bob H. Glass - Holy Moses

I heard 'Have You Ever' over the radio and had to pull my car over. I feel like I was sleeping for 27 years and just woke up. Thank you Brandi and the "Twins."

miserydisco14 - Blew me away.....

Ever since the very first song played on Brandi Carlisle's self-titled first album, I knew I was hooked. I have emeorized ever song and even as I listen to The Story and Josephine, I still find the beautiful lyrics and soulful, amazing voice of hers touching my soul. I think The Story was hands-down the best album of 2007, and she is definetly the best Artist on the market today. Most musicians right now, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, sound horrible in live concert without a synthesizer to disguise their low-grade voices. When I was Brandi at the Portland Zoo this summer (which my Dad and I drove for hours to get to) she sounded even better live. I could feel tears coming to my eyes during Hallelujah at the end. If you want to listen to strong, beautiful, and real music (like how it was supposed to be) I strongly suggest Brandi Carlisle.

Whar10ite - Truly a great album

Wow. So, I was rearranging my music collection the other day when I stumbled upon the single "The Story" -- I think I picked it up several months ago when iTunes was giving it away free of charge. The power and emotion of the vocals struck me immediately, and as I listened to it more, I became entranced by the acoustic melody. On a whim, I downloaded the entire album, and Brandi Carlile is now one of my favorite artists. The sound is clean and fresh, superbly mixing mellow, sweetly sung passages with the aforementioned emotion. This is the first review I've ever written on iTunes, so hopefully that too will give you an indication of how much I enjoyed this music.

Odie likes good music - Excellent, Excellent, Excellent

One of the best new albums I've heard in the last 10 years. Very passionate music. Wonderfully and creatively written. Beautiful voice with harmonies that are totally addictive. Perfect blend of rock, folk, and country.

cejashouse - the sound, it's so calming.

it has a calmig effect, this is my break from my addiction to club hits.

[the.parting.glass] - Love is a thirteen song album

I first heard the song "the story" on a car commercial during the olympics and have been looking ever since...i had heard brandi's music before, but i didn't recognize that it was her on the commercial. this whole album is great. i'm surprised it's $7.99...great deal!!!

??14?? - The Story

This album was ok i loved the song, the story, her voice sounded so amazing

TrashFromAsh - Turpentine! Get it!

Brandi quickly became one of my favorite artists after I bought Turpentine. I honestly listned to it nonstop for weeks. If you are going to get one song from her, get that!

GHinNoVa - Slack-jawed . . .

. . . as if I just received a euphorically pleasant blow to the head. Some grow accustom to the relative numbness of adulthood, so take care when you listen. This music reaches into your guts in a penetrative, almost coital manner and stirs up visceral emotions whether you want them or not. I feel my heart was just ripped from me by way of my ear canal. It hurt, but it felt wonderful. My cochlea still hum from the thrill of it. Carlile expands your intellectual soul in a painfully exquisite and floaty way in something akin to the effects of cannabis, but legally so.

onedimpledcheek - Pure, unadulterated genius.

If you aren't downloading the full album, you're missing out. This is something to be experienced as a whole. "The Story" is a fantastic song, but if you haven't heard "Cannonball", "Downpour", "Josephine", and "Turpentine"...well, you've done yourself a disservice.

JR10851 - Wow

This woman has so much talent I truly am amazed. This is the best album I've heard in a very long time.

Katiej123 - Absolutely amazing

Words cannot even describe how amazing his album is. It's the kind that you can sing to, relate to, cry to and celebrate to. I just can't say anything that would do this album justice. Please listen to it for yourself and fall in love with it for your own reasons.

ElWouldBluz - Great album, BAD sound

I am enjoying the songs in one sense, but the quality is awful, and it's not my computer. All my other songs on iTunes sound fine. Please upgrade the sound and let us download a new one.

califmusic - one i play over and over again. you will too!

raw. honest. pure. beautiful. heart-wrenching. gut-churning. man, this is the real deal. it is good. yes, that good. some really great songs that you will want to play again and again and again. do yourself a favor and buy the whole album. not just the singles. but the WHOLE ALBUM. you will be SO glad you did.

edelight - Excellent

This is by far the BEST music purchase I have made in a very long time!!!

Pigwill - Nice sound

Nice sound, but she kills (in a bad way) "The Story" with about a minute to go. What is up with that? If you have your earbuds in get ready.

Funny123456789 - Absolutely Great!

The Story, (the actual song) is amazing! Brandi Carlile has a great voice! The song is always in my head! I love it!

theroux - One word......

Amazing! I'm so glad that I heard "The Story" on the GM commerical. A fantastic song, an amazing artist. Also check out "Hallelujah".and "Sixty Years On"; an unbelievable twist on Elton John's masterpiece.

~*Peach*~ - Amazing Voice!!!

I love her voice! Her songs are so inspiring and different. I saw her in concert and loved her!!

Hippigurl - It's about time...

...that this album got recognized! I discovered it months ago when I heard the song "The Story" that speaks to me and reflects my own life and "Tragedy" is another great one. I wish we could hear music like this on the radio, but all we get is (I don't even know what to call it) stuff that has no substance, no meaning and all sounds the same. Brandy Carlile is an amazing artist that puts so much emotion and honesty, real-life stuff into her music and I am so glad to see her in the "What We're Listening To" section of the I-Tunes store. Way to go I-Tunes!

'Brandi Baby' - "The Story"

This Song Is Absolutely Fantastic. General Motors Did Themselves A Wonderful Favor In Picking This Song For Their 'Olympic Commercial' Song. It Really Brings Back The Fantastic Feeling Of Such A Top Corporate Empire Like General Motors. Also, To Have Such A Company Representing The United States Of America During The WorldWide Viewed Olympic Games In Beijing, China. Freedom vs. Communist.

Jon Coastie - Incredible

It has been a long, long time since I have been truly floored by a singer, but that was exactly the case with Brandi Carlile. Her voice is incredible, and her lyrics are poetic and heartfelt. In a strange way she reminds me of a cross between Bob Dylan and the Bright Eyes.

lawewn - Buy this album

There are usually only a few good songs on an album and you skip over them when you listen. NOT THIS TIME! I am so happy because she really hits it out of the park with this record. Every song is well written, and well performed. She is raw talent, unpolished and beautiful in every sense of the word. She is not glam but her soul pours through to listeners and keeps you listnsing and waiting for more. A must buy!!!

buddha99 - So I'm watching the olympics and can't get this tune out of my head

Every time that friggin' GMC commercial came on I couldn't leave my easy chair! Why haven't I heard of this amazing artist before now? This album is about as close to perfection as there is.

Linfontina - Great vocals and lyrics.

I love all the songs and she has such a great sound. I have been listening to this cd about 10 times a day since I bought it. This is the first cd of hers that I ever bought.

Sophie Nielsen - one of the greatest artists out there...

Brandi Carlile for one has an amazing voice, great lyrics, and a great stage presence. I've seen her live...and it was simply AMAZING! the show was free, but people were paying lots of money just to sit closer to the stage! I would recomend this CD and the others (there will be a new one soon) to anyone and everyone.

g8torgirl - Hooked from the GM commercial

Everytime the GM commercial came on I was like.. I like that song. I finally looked it up and got hooked from there. What a pure song. It's refreshing to hear an artist who sounds as good live as she does on the record.

raulantonio - Great Album!

A must have in any collection!

shinypenny13 - Brandi Is a Goddess

Brandi Carlile has the best voice, and this is her best CD. But you have to see her live!

moralesjlm - Love it!!

My new favorite artist. Wish I would have discovered her alot sooner. So clean, crisp and refreshing.

RayInAZ - Heard song on GM commercial and tracked it down

I'm not the average iTune user being nearly 70 and cheap. Heard “Story” on the GM commercial. I found “Story” so unique I tracked it down and purchased it. The other tunes on the album might be as good, but I’d rather review the lyrics than listen to the tunes as they tend to sound the same. This will very likely be the only tune of hers on my iPod, but I will enjoy this one tune often.
