Michelle Branch writes mostly on Hotel Paper (and stays mostly within the margins)

by divad23 divad23 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Music, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Jul 07 '03
Pros: A few tracks that expand on Michelle's musical repertoire and perhaps suggest an overall theme.
Cons: Subject matter is mostly the same old stuff; several unchallenging pop/rock tracks.
WARNING: Obligatory pun on Michelle Branch's name ahead. Michelle Branch is an environmentally friendly artist. On her second album, she's managed to save a few trees by recycling herself into Hotel Paper. (GROAN.) ...

Michelle Branch-es Out (Just A Little) On "Hotel Paper"

by speeddemon531 speeddemon531 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Music, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Mar 14 '04
Pros: Michelle & her co-writing/producing team know how to dole out those hooks...
Cons: ..Now if they could only find her a personality to go along with it.
Fact: I've owned a copy of Michelle Branch's "Hotel Paper" for about six months and never felt compelled to give it a listen. I wasn't too enthused with lead single "Are You Happy Now?" (and it's weird video), and even though I kinda liked her first ...

Perhaps Toilet Paper would have been more accurate...

by floatingcity , Feb 03 '07
Pros: The opening run of four songs is pretty good, as is "Breathe".
Cons: Plodding, bland guitar ballad after plodding, bland guitar ballad.
After her highly enjoyable debut “The Spirit Room” in 2000, Michelle Branch returned to the airwaves a few years later with her sophomore effort, “Hotel Paper”. Building on her brand of harmless teen guitar pop, this album sees her trying ...

I Couldn't Think of A Witty Title for My Review of Michelle's Second Album

Pros: Michelle Branch is no fluke, and we get irresistible pop/rock treats.
Cons: So many songs reinterpret her debut album tracks.

Michelle Branch: Upgrading From One Room To A Whole Friggen Hotel

by broomqueesha Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Aug 29 '03
Pros: Typical Michelle Branch music with a rock/country edge and poetic lyrics this time around.
Cons: Not much variety; some of the instrumentals drown out Michelle's voice.
The Main Idea: After an artsy and gutsy first album, Michelle Branch released her sophomore effort, Hotel Paper, just in time for the summer of 2003. Hotel Paper isn't much of a departure from The Spirit Room, but it does sho ...

This Is The Heartbreak Hotel That Michelle Built

by crimsonregret , Mar 19 '04

Cons: Takes a while to grow on you. Lacks the fun spark of her debut.
