Reviews Customer Reviews for Deconstruction ENHANCED CD      Get this CD for the Great songs!      Rating:      This is a good CD, Not a great CD... However, it is a CD with some GREAT songs! Sin City, Back To Eden, I Have Everything, and Careful What You Wish For, are good enough to justify the cost of the CD all by themselves, and if you like the other songs, which are still pretty good, then that is just a bonus. I believe Meredith Brooks is too important of a song writer to not be working, hopefully she will get back to work soon and make another great album like "Bad, Bad One". If you don't have this album, really, theses songs are very good. If you don't know Meredith Brooks, Start With "Bad, Bad One" or "Blurring Edges" and fall in love with her rock music for grown ups!     Customer Reviews for Deconstruction ENHANCED CD Cd      Huge Disappointment      Rating:      "Blurring the Edges" is a really good CD that belongs right alongside efforts by Fiona Apple and Alanis Morissette. This CD might as well be by Michelle Branch. It is very well put together and completely uninteresting. Editorial Reviews for Deconstruction ENHANCED CD Audio Cd      Amazon.com      When Meredith Brooks broke through with her 1997 single "Bitch," you could pretty much cut the irony with a knife: a song that was meant to show off her multidimensionality (as well as that of all women) instead became a song that defined her, and in many ways limited her. With Deconstruction, Brooks seems to be trying to take down that graven image piece by piece. Sure, there's plenty of energetic, melodic guitar rock similar to that with which she scored on Blurring the Edges ("I Have Everything," "Shout," "All For Nothing"), but there's also a funky edge to her take on Melanie's "Lay Down" (featuring a guest appearance by Queen Latifah), and some lovely ballads ("Nobody's Home," "Back to Nowhere"). Her lyrics aren't particularly deep (notably the overreaching and unfortunately titled "Cosmic Woo Woo"), but Deconstruction is a follow-up effort that should put an end to the name-calling. --Daniel Durchholz
