    Growing into Maturity

    By Willipedia  Oct 1, 2003 | 7 out of 7 found this Life for Rent review helpful

    Pros: tonal quality, ambiance

    Cons: similar to prior album

    I have appreciated Dido's music since I saw "Sliding Doors" and had to buy a copy of that song. I enjoyed her first full-length album and was curious if she could hold up after three years of silence (and remixes)."Life for Rent&qu...ot; explores similar themes of dating, urban living, and the sheer nonsense of life sometimes. Having said that, I believe she breaks new ground by including a sense of emotional maturity and perspective that were absent from her prior work, "No Angel". There isn't as large of a concern with posturing or appearance. For a sophomore album, it is very strong. "Sand in My Shoes" is destined for some major remixing and a top-10 slot, carrying much of the feel of "Take My Hand" but adding a genuine befuddlement with modern life. Overall, the album is excellent and surpasses my expectations. Anyone who ever compared her to Natalie Imbruglia was sadly mistaken and discounts Dido Armstrong's capacity to capture mood and view in lyrics and music. This album will attract more fans that "No Angel", though they will be across greater genre borders. In a word: solid. Read more Less

    Dido Strives

    By HoangD  Oct 5, 2003 | 2 out of 2 found this Life for Rent review helpful

    Pros: Gorgeous production; haunting voice

    Cons: Not that hard-hitting; a bit slight

    Dido's voice is a treasure. Soothing, haunting and straightforward, the best in pop since k.d. lang.

    The sound is more mature yet consistent w/ the last album. She has a solid, steady sound.

    One can listen to her any time of the day.

Pro Reviews: Life for Rent

  • All Music Guide

    Life for Rent doesn't offer anything that drastically different from Dido's debut album, No Angel the dance beats are marginally fresher, the production is clean and new but this predictibility is actually rather refreshing because the album delivers on its promise, unlike many sophomore affairs in 2003. That its promise is rather modest doesn't really matter, since Dido is successful at modest songs. She has a sweet, warm voice and a knack for tuneful modern folkpop that sounds intimate while being confidently catchy and nicely atmospheric. In other words, it retains the feel of No Angel and its two big hits, "Here With Me" and "Thank You," without ever rewriting either song, but contributing songs like "White Flag," "Stoned," "Life for Rent," and "Do You Have a Little Time," which are nearly as memorable. The appeal of Life for Rent is what makes Dido appealing she's unassuming and gentle, but her songs are so melodic and atmospheric they easily work their way into the subconsciou...s, and the records are wellcrafted enough to be engaging on repeated plays. So, Life for Rent isn't much different than its predecessor, but that's a very good thing in this case. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide Read more Less
