Can't stop playing it! - By: R. Dickens, 22 Sep 2008 
I love this album! It has not ben out of my cd player since i bought it! It is quirky lively & original! Can't wait to see her live! :D
Great great debut - By: overthebridgewego, 17 Sep 2008 This album's got so many good songs it sounds more like a greatest hits than a debut. I've had this for a few weeks now & just can't stop playing it. Raw, genuine, honest, passionate, funny...can't reallly recommend this highly enough.
Great first album - By: Lincman, 01 Sep 2008 
I caught Ida Maria live in London a few months back having no idea who she was & was very impressed with the gig. This album does capture their/her live feel to a degree & has a number of great catchy tunes with a few more less exciting numbers amongst them.
Musicallly its not rocket science - but I gather thats not the point.
Great album for a first up - hope the catchy tunes keep on coming & the strained vocals continue........
Oh My God! - Exuberant Punk pop - By: Ignore_Alien_orders, 07 Aug 2008 I'm too old to take any notice of the blurb they print on the front of CD cases & too old to take any notice of the hype or otherwise of the NME et al. I go on my own reaction to performers, & having seen these guys live, I love them. Yes there's a few clunky lyrics & a couple of fillers, but "Oh My God" reallly hits the mark for me. Pop should be fun, & this is.
Terrible. - By: IWFIcon, 06 Aug 2008 
Well Ida Maria fans, get your mouses (mice?) hovering over the "no" button...
Someone I know, mentioning no names, picked up this album in a local music shop, took one look at the "missing link between The Strokes & Amy Winehouse" sticker on the front & put it straight back on the rack. As far as I'm concerned he had a very lucky escape.
First time around alll I could stomach was 30 seconds each of the opening four tracks. But I'm nothing if not fair so in the interests of, well, this review I tried again & made it alll the way through. Again I was far from impressed.
Make no bones about it, it's the "funny" lyrics to I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked that have got Ida Maria any mainstream attention at alll.
Derivative, unoriginal and, frankly, not very good at alll. One reviewer suggested she's almost the "female Jack Penate". And to be honest, I would tend to agree. Yes, she is THAT bad.
