    This album is full of the sort of self-lacerating confessional music that was all the rage two decades ago, and now, in a different time, feels both completely foreign and surprisingly refreshing.

    This is a very nice record, yet feels more settled overall. Nevertheless, it's a matter of choice rather than quality.

    Even if certain passages verge on the heavy-handedness that one might find in a high school literary magazine, there's a brazenness to Lambert's self-exposure and a particularity to her diction that distinguish her from other open-hearted songwriters.

    By emphasizing melody and feel over art and angst, Lambert's come up with a debut that goes down quite smoothly.

    Clearly, Lambert has talent, but on Heart she's merely scratching the surface.

C'est la recette pour sortir un album aussi formidable, rythmé et plein d'enthousiasme.
    Un album qui fait totalement contraste à celui de Skylar Grey, qui donne envie de nous jeter du haut d'un pont tellement c'est linéaire et déprimant.
    J'adhère. J'attend avec impatience ses prochaines créations.    … Full Review »
