 Better then her last CD November 6, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I actually love this CD more then her first one, has a few poppy tunes, fewer slower ones, overall just a great CD.
 ...a little bit disappointing November 6, 2007

...at least compared with eye to the telescope.
Although it should have nothing to do one thing with the other, it usually happens that when an artist changes the way they look, the logo and so on their music changes with them, and given that you liked things the way they were, the change is for the worse most of the times.
In my opinion that is what happens here...kt changed the way she dressed and the logo, let alone the lovely look of her old web page, going from a young girl looking smiling and uncompromising with her old jeans and boots to a glam diva. But all those subjects don't matter if the music is good, and here is the problem. Musically this album is not a total departure from eye to..., although the bluesy thing and the voice and acoustic guitar songs are missed, but the songs are overall much worse here than they were on eye..., and they are poppier.
1- litle favours: there is a previous and acoustic version of this song as a b-side to under the weather i think...that version is much better and moving than the one on drastic, wich could not be compared on its own with other side of the world...
2- if only: it begins like an average poppy song, a little bit catchy...but then comes the chorus and i skip it...i'm sorry...another place to fall should be offended
3- white bird: wonderful. probably the best thing here, with kt singing alone, only with her acoustic guitar and few arrangements, very much in the vein of heal over...par with under the weather
4- funnyman: good song, and not a poppy one like if only was...this is serious and catchy...thins get better although black horse is better
5- hold on: this is the first single and the so-called black horse of the album...i don't think so but is good and i love kt's voice on this one...very good, like miniature disasters was
6- hopeless: very good although i find it very poppy...i consider it the twin sister of saving my face although the latter is much better...any way this is good as well, but worse than the sheer brilliance of silent sea
7- i don't want you know: horrible, poppy and bland...nothing to do with universe & you or any other song on eye, which play in a far better league...
8- saving my face: very, very good!!!! nice chorus and nice song overall.maybe a little bit short...but once again i don't think is better than its number partner on eye.., false alarm
9- beauty of uncertainty: is good, very somber and slow..it could be the silent sea of drastic although worse (once again), but is worthy...i'd rather listening to suddenly i see on eye..., which strangely enough was the poppiest song on eye...and i am not into pop songs very much...
10- someday soon: flows almost unnoticed...it would be matched with stoppin' the love which is the worst song on eye...althugh better than this...sorry
11- paper aeroplane: same as someday soon although is remarkable the fact that kt dares finishing her album with such dark and slow tracks lihe the last three
of course this is my opinion and i'm sorry for the comparison with eye..., but you have noticed i find eye... almost inmaculate...stoppin' the love and through the dark are, for me, the worst tracks on ther but they are much better than many of the tracks on drastic...
i know it is very difficult to match the incredible quality and feeling of eye... and i am sure that kt got off the eye to the telescipe horse on purpose, intending not to create the same album again and again...
i am sur she did not want to deliver eye... part II but i wouldn't have minded it...and i think the way her music has changed has a lot to do with the way her appearance and the album art have changed...and it has been made intentionally in my opinion...
anyway, this is not a bad album, not at all, and kt fans will like it, like i do, as all the good reviews show...is just that i hope kt to deliver much better things in the future, because i loved acoustic extravaganza too...
thank you for reading and greetings from spain!!!

Love this album, its just as good as Eye To the telescope, though with changes, she's even dancing now! she's exploring more in the music area, which is cool, and we have a result her drastic fantastic album..Just love it, standouts are of course Hold On, saving my face, Someday soon and paper aeroplane, her album is just a hit! love it! great purchase if you liked her previous cd
Nice change ! October 26, 2007

Although I haven't warmed up to this album as quickly as I did to "Eye to the Telescope", KT Tunstall is "Drastically Fantastic" just the same. I would recommend this album to anyone who is a fan of KT Tunstall.
