Summary: KT Tunstall_ one of the greatest female artist of all time
Comment: (In America) it is incredibly hard to know who the real artist are. The industry promotes so many over glamorized puppets, that we start to assume that all good looking artist must be fakes. This is not the case with KT Tunstall. Like Elvis, she has incredible musical talent, singing talent, and happens to be good looking. I was lucky enough to see her recently in concert and I swear she sounds (vocally and musically) even better live than on her album.
Drastic Fantastic is a really great album, which compliments her first album Eye to the Telescope very nicely. All of the tracks are good, but my two favorites are "If only" and "Hopeless".
If you liked the great alternative sound of the 1990's, give KT a listen.

Summary: Almost Fantastic
Comment: KT Tunstall has become one of my favorite female artists quite quickly. I loved the Telescope CD, the Acoustic CD, and then with Drastic Fantastic here it continues to add to the catalog of great songs.
I still have a difficult time getting into slower tracks like "White Bird", "Someday Soon", and "Paper Aeroplanes" even after repeated listens I tend to skip those tracks. I do appreciated the slower songs, it's just the mood perhaps set by the other tracks that makes me wanna avoid the detour into this area. It's not that the songs are bad, it's just not my speed...but in time I may come to appreciate them....I just have a good time rocking out to her more upbeat tunes more often than the others.
My fav right now is "If Only", that one along with "Little Favour" is a great way to kick off the CD I think, "Saving My Face", and "Funnyman are a couple other up tempo favs along with "I Don't Want You Now". "Hold On" is a song I like somewhat, but it doesn't grab me quite like the other up tempo songs.
Overall some nice material that is continuing on what she accomplished on Eye To The Telescope. Which is the better CD I'm not really sure at this point, both are near perfect....not quite there yet perhaps, but she's putting out so much great material so soon, it's hard to keep up perhaps.
She has a great voice, great talent. It's nice to hear the real deal more often, there are more and more female artist out there who are making their own music their way, and it's good to know it can be done, and KT along a handful of others are in a class by themselves right now.

Summary: Couple of good tunes.
Comment: I think KT kicks major a--.
Drastic Fantastic feels a little rushed.
There are a couple of good tunes, perhaps if she took a little hiatus she can return to her greatness, but lets face it, great songs are a rareity and KT has already had many moments of greatness.

Summary: 4.5 Stars - Fantasic Album
Comment: I have not heard KT's first album, but as a new fan, I can tell you that this album is great. Her faster, more pop tracks are her strongest. The slower songs toward the end are a good way to end the album, but don't pack the power of the other songs.
Stand Out Tracks: "Funnyman" and "Saving My Face"
