Quixotic was one of the best albums [in] Europe last year and Anything will be one of the best here in 2004.
-
Anything ends with all expectations met, but little else. Martina Topley-Bird has the kind of voice that deserves beautiful and strange accompaniment, and as such, most songs beg for so much more.
-
Fresh and imaginative, "Anything" is one intoxicating recording.
-
If it disappoints, it is largely in sounding like a fine record from six or more years ago.
-
UrbMore distinctive than the arrangements, though, are Topley-Bird's utterly unique vocals. [Sep 2004, p.117]
-
Of course, if you really care for Topley-Bird, you're going to want the full-length U.K. album. But if you just want a great album, Anything will not disappoint.
-
BlenderHer effortless cool has gained range. [Sep 2004, p.144]
-
Here we get the full range of peaks and valleys from Martina's vocals, but the songs are a bit syrupy for those prepared for the menace of Maxinquaye-era Tricky.
-
Entertainment WeeklyMakes the case for life after trip-hop. [13 Aug 2004, p.85]
-
Bluesy, fragile and gorgeous.
-
Rolling StoneA fantastic solo debut. [19 Aug 2004, p.120]
