Comments:

Kyler England's music is radio-friendly and smooth. She avoids clichés by writing great songs and singing passionately. "Dead End" is especially great with its strident chorus and strong vocal. "Flawless" is an insightful song about being idealised by one's partner. "Snowed In" is funky and sweet. The song about the spacedog Laika is very touching.
     This album is very true to life and that's a rare thing. (stjarnell@yahoo.com)
