I'm gonna be honest and say that it's not up to par with "This Way", "Spirit", or even the immensly underappriciated "Goodbye Alice In Wonderland". But "Perfectly Clear" does offer us some extremly fine moments, Like the gorgeous "I Do", which is up there in the list of Jewel's best songs. All in all. this is an album that should definatly be listend to. It's Jewel. so you already know that it isn't gonna be bad.
My Top 5
1. I Do
2. Perfectly Clear
3. Everything Reminds Me Of You
4. Rosey & Mick
5. Loved By You (Cowboy Waltz)
listen to this album, the songs are truly beautiful!
I Love you Jewel |

Jewel's first country album really reminds me of her This Way album. Many articles I have found say her fans may have a hard time with her flipping genre's all the time. I think that if she were to realese her original album, Pieces of You, in our current time it would have been debut in the country genre anyways.
Song that is great, #10, Cowboy Waltz. |

 They just don't make 'em like they used to...

| I LOVE Jewel, this cd is a bit lacking. It's missing that fire and passion she had in her voice and lyrics in Pieces of You and Spirit. It's just sort of middle of the road Jewel, not so special. |

| I like Jewel's 2008 album, as hybrid of country and adult alt rock. Her genre defining This Way goes ever forward without gloating. Obviously they're selling this on the attactive looks of the siger almost now a deacade since she broke big on MTV in 1996 or 1997. Easy listening palatable country music rock hybrid. It's not boring either. |

 So disappointing...

When I was a teenager, Jewel was my hero. Her heartfelt songs and odd melodies captured my imagination for three albums straight.
Three albums later, Perfectly Clear appears on the scene, and I was so excited to hear her country "departure".
Excited until I heard it, that is.
One low point, lyrically, was the song "Thump Thump". "I swear I hear the language of your heart, and it says Thump Thump..." Oh really? Do tell. Hearing common metaphors about love sung as if they were something profound also frustrated me, such as "Love is a garden" or "Love is a game until it's played" (I Do).
Probably the thing that made me move from disappointment to disgust was the song, "Till It Feels Like Cheating". I'm assuming from the rest of the lyrics that this is about a married couple who have been apart for awhile and are having a rendezvous in a hotel room somewhere. That sounds fine, except the main lyric, "Till it feels like cheating, till it feels that good." Yuck. Cheating feels good? Even if it did, it's still a gross lyric.
I've heard her sing some of these songs with just her guitar and voice, and they are infinitely easier to listen to. Perhaps I should blame her producer, then, but the whole album does not sound like a tribute to country music as much as it sounds like she is almost poking fun at the industry of country music.
Sorry, Jewel. I said "Say it ain't so!" when you came out with 0304, and now I'm saying it again.
