'Pvdhoo' can't have listened to much music if he/she thinks Back To Black has poor sound - a lot of the sounds on the first CD are purposely retro, harking back to classic Motown and Ska, for example the drum sound on Just Friends. It's all a matter of taste and opinion of course, but my opinion is that this album (not the extra stuff, just the original CD) is pretty much faultless - a mix of strong melodies and rhythms, some amazing lyrics (think about what she's saying about life and love), and emotive vocals. So far, the best thing she's done.

its the best album i've ever bought, loved every song on it, great voice and so different from whats in the charts, makes a change from hip hop.

Excellent music and performance.

But I agree with PvdH00 below. The first CD does not have anything like as good sound quality as the second disc. Superficially, it's O.K., but lacks the deep bass on the 2nd CD; this is very apparent if you are listening on a good hi-fi. Early copies of the original, single, CD, sounded a lot better. What is going on?

Very disappointing - only knowing the song Valerie (and knowing that she won a number of awards), I decided to buy this album, but that has been a mistake. The song Valerie stands out by far (on the bonus CD) the rest ranges from terrible to Ok at best. Beautiful voice but the songs just don't seem to suit her voice. General feel is that the songs aren't balanced though that could also be due to sound quality, see below
Most disappointing is sound quality of the CD - it is terribly bright to the point that it is simply irritating to the ears. The bonus CD sounds normal and has good sound quality which is why I don't understand the sound quality of the main CD. Or is that what the title of the album (Brilliant edition) refers to? Anyway, maybe this is an album that has to grow on you in time but this one won't because unfortunately the sound quality makes it to tiring to listen to. Any one else have the same experience?

By far the best album I have purchased in a long time.
British talent at its greatest, not like the manufactered crap that is flooding our charts.

Amazing album. Worth it for the album alone. The second disc is great. Valerie is on there (not the mark ronson mix though) and a great version of cupid. Brilliant album, you'll never get bored of this one!!

A fantastic Album, you will want to listen to it over and over again and you will never get bored with it.

Great price for two amazing CDs. You can't deny her talent, every song on her latest album is a corker. If you like this album, you must try 'Frank' her first album.

i dont normally like these sort of cds when they stick more songs on to make fans buy it again but this one is the exception the bonas cd is fantastic the song cupid the old sam cooke song is out of this world its worth buying it for this song alone , good luck amy hope 2008 brings ya peace xx englands greatest talent

This album is definatley worth every penny there isn't one bad song one the album. I can listen to it the whole way through without skipping a track; forget what you've heard about her, she makes good music.
