    The best album of it's kind since Madonna's classic "Like a Virgin" album came out back in the 80's. The Tiny Mix Tapes review says it best "Perfect pop bliss".

    The best pop album of the noughties. Simply stunning, fantastic sugarcoated-melancholic-electro-disco-hiphop-funk-pop!

    What a pop album should be : funny, well produced, various,... Pretty well done! Heartbeat is easily one of the best song by a newcomer this year!

    The definitive pop album. A must-have for fans of any genre. One of very few albums to appeal to the indie kids, the ravers, the pop junkies, and everyone else for that matter. Earns a spot on my "top ten albums of all time" list without a doubt.

    The best pop album in the last 10 years. This girl is very talented and she knows what she's doing. "Hearbeat" and "The Greatest Hit" are amazing songs and destined to be pop classics. Can't wait for her second album!

    This is a great album. When I first heard the single Heartbeat in a little singles shop in West Hollywood, I absolutely fell in love with it. Luckily the shop also had the single Chewing Gum...which was absolute pop! I bought the album the day after and am totally in love with Annie and can't wait for more albums!

    Pop Perfection, anyone who doesnt agree certainly hasnt been listening to mainstream radio. talk about a breath of fresh air, even her slow tracks are packed with freshness that cant be canned into something other than original. People really ought to know when someone is achieving somethin the Right way.

    Awesome, simply awesome! Terrific album from start to finish. Which is surprising cause I'm not a big fan of the bubble gum crap but...this girl Annie manages to pull it off really well without having the typical pop elements that were so used to by now, thanks to Britney. This is mixture of (80's) Madonna, Kylie Minogue & Debbie Harry (lead singer of Blondie). The songs like Awesome, simply awesome! Terrific album from start to finish.

    One of the best pop albums I've ever heard. Absolutely sincere, flowing with emotion and still almost instantly accessible. And Heartbeat is the most beautiful song this side of god knows what, I've just listened a million times...

    This album is exactly what I needed, something simple, catchy, origonal, and yet still pop. As good as Madonna's Madonna. Keep it coming, I can dig it.

    Let me just say that "Heartbeat" is one of the best pop songs I have ever heard, is just so damn catchy & beauiful, can't get enough it. Anyway, Anniemal is truly a fantastic listen from start to finish, anyone can enjoy it, is fun album. Songs like--My Best Friend, Always Too Late, Me Plus One, The Greatest Hit, Happy Without You, & Anniemal, will definitely keep you coming back for Let me just say that "Heartbeat" is one of the best pop songs I have ever heard, is just so damn catchy & beauiful, can't get enough it.

    Annie the songwriter is breathless and unsure of herself, her voice barely registering above a church-wafer-thin whisper for most of the record.

    This sugar rush of an album proves Mom right yet again: Candy is best consumed in moderation. [10 Jun 2005, p.107]
