Excellent
I had never heard of her and a friend sent me the White Flag Video and I fell in love with the song. Amazing Vocals and Songs. All the songs are great!!!.


Great album by Dido!
Dido possesses a very unique voice that complements her style of songs very well. This album is a great followup to "No Angel" and she has shown a lot of maturity as a singer-songwriter. Great album to wind down at the end of the day or to laze around on a weekend/vacation day with a book. Some tracks like "White flag", "Life for rent", "See the sun" are simply outstanding. Overall, a terrific effort by Dido and I would highly recommend it. .


CD-Rent by Dido
I had never heard of Dido and had none of her music prior to this purchase. I bought this CD because of one song (White Flag) and am pleased to have it. The other music on the CD was fine and I enjoyed listening it to it but I LOVE "White Flag" and played it over and over. Like the singer's voice and musical style and might be tempted to buy more of her music. But, I base the "five star" rating on "White Flag" because I was so intrigued by it. Bill Joe Nix.


DIDO "LIFE FOR RENT"
"Sand In My Shoes" is probably the only exception as it's a little bit dancey, not in the music sense, I just mean you could dance around a little bit to the song, on "No Angel" there wasn't any dancey songs. "Life For Rent" equalled Dido's first album, her music, style and voice are all kept pretty much the same.

I think the 4 singles she chose to release off the album were all good choices, "This Land Is Mine" and "See The Sun" could have also been good choices for singles, but I'd say that she picked the right ones.

"Stoned" is a great track, the music is very electronic, I like it. "Mary's In India" is a nice little song, it has a good little story. "See You When You're 40" is one of my favourites (along with "White Flag," "Life For Rent" and "Don't Leave Home") for her vocals.

Basically it's just a great album, another 10 out of 10 from Dido. I haven't heard the new album yet, Santa should be bringing it for me :).


Pure Listening Bliss
The singles "White Flag" and "Sand in My Shoes" typify the tone and character of the other tracks. Life For Rent is an excellent album through and through, in fact I can say honestly it's one of my favorites in my entire collection. Unlike some other records, ones in which you listen to your favorite single then leave it on the shelf, this one has what it takes to be a classic.
