Amazon.com Anastacia, the self-titled third album from the former wedding singer picks up where Freak of Nature left off, completing her transformation from disco-pop diva to full-on rock goddess. "Seasons Change" opens the album with a nu-metal guitar riff and pretty much sets the tone for the other 11 songs. Lead single "Left Outside Alone" demonstrates the diversity of Anastacia's voice: she starts off very pronounced in an Evanescence style before going back to her old self. Sadly, the vocals are more restrained than usual, with only a few songs showing off her range. The ballad "Heavy On My Heart" builds to some dynamic choruses, reminiscent of Joe Cocker's screaming rendition of "With a Little Help from My Friends" but the only time Anastacia really lets loose is on "Sexy Single," where her distinctive nasal vibrato loosens up and puts a real feel into the music. It's a shame there are none of the funk or disco numbers that made her debut so explosive but with such a unique voice, Anastacia could sing anything and it would sound great. --David Trueman

Anastacia strikes back. May 18, 2004 32 out of 34 found this review helpful
After the sad episode that Anastacia lived last year when she discovered that had breast cancer, she took a time off to recover and now is back stronger than ever.Anastacia is not very known in the U.S but in Europe and Asia is one of the hottest singers. Her two previous albums sold more than 10 million copies and brought Anastacia several Top 10 singles including "I'm outta love", "Cowboys and kisses", "Paid my dues" and "One day in your life". Her American debut happened in 2002 with "One day in your life" as lead single. The song and album had a moderate success but I'm more than sure that it wasn't stronger because there was not a big promotion. Now about this album. It debuted at #1 in the European charts and stayed there for several weeks leaving behind strong albums such as Norah Jones's "Feels like home" (which is amazing) and Prince's latest album. The first single "Left outside alone" climbed the charts very fast arriving also to #1. If you know about Anastacia's music. I can tell you that this one is very good as her previous ones but it has more rock influences. And if you don't know about her music, think about a mix between Tina Turner, Taylor Dayne, Billie Myers and Evanescence. Finally I can say that the album is very, very good and if you like one of the singers that I've just mentioned, you'll simply love it (check the songs "Season's change", "Left outside alone", "Sick and tired", "Heavy on my heart", "Pretty little dum dum" and "Maybe today").
Another fantastic album by Anastacia! April 20, 2004 17 out of 17 found this review helpful
Anastacia does it again with her self-titled album, "Anastacia!" While different in tempo and beat from her previous dance-laden albums, Anastacia has found a new sound she calls "sprock," which is soul, pop, and rock mixed together. And what a sound it is! The tracks are full of heart-rending and through-provoking lyrics, which is to expected given Anastacia's real-life scare with breast cancer. But don't expect the lyrics or album to be a downer. Believe me, if anyone is a Survivor Chick, it's Anastacia and she proves it by rockin' out at full blast! Don't miss this album!
Why isn't America listening to this woman? She's INCREDIBLE March 19, 2005 10 out of 10 found this review helpful
I got this CD as a gift from a friend who had seen her in Germany. I'd never even heard of her. I was AMAZED! The voice on this woman is INCREDIBLE. A lot like Taylor Dayne but with her own distinct sound. Her vocals have an emotion to them we aren't hearing with other singers these days. Her sound seems to wrap around the lyrics beautifully. She's got a special gift.
I'm scratching my head because after doing a little research on her I was stunned to find out this isn't her first CD. This is actually her third and she is considered a HUGE DIVA in Europe. I've dloaded her other songs from her other CD's and I'm stumped by the lack of interest in her here in the USA. Radio needs to get it together. This woman can SANG! Everything we hear on the radio these days is either R&B, Rap, Hip Hop, or skateboard POP. You'd think her label would PUSH for her success in the USA knowing that we are in desperate need of something new after the poor ratings for the grammys. It's obvious that it's time to make some changes.. Here's the change and the name for the change is .. ANASTACIA!!. Perhaps this CD will be the one that finally gets her to the top of the charts here in the USA.
If I could give this CD 100 stars I would. Seasons Change, Left Outside Alone, and Time have HIT written all over them. The whole CD just flows together perfectly. You just want to play it over and over. The voice is Funky and powerful. This is no little girls voice. This is a woman who knows what she's singing about and knows how to deliver it. It's the best CD I've heard in a long time.
So...If you are dying to hear some incredible vocals and are just a little tired of the standard they are pushing at us as of lately I'd suggest you pass on 50 Cent and get Anastacias CD. You won't be sorry. She is amazing.
Come on USA radio get it together and let all of America hear this womans voice! It's well past due.
A top album! April 27, 2005 8 out of 9 found this review helpful
The only "weak" tracks on the album are "Pretty Little Dum Dum", "Sexy Single", and "Maybe Today". That leaves 9 really solid tracks.
Just buy the album, listen without skipping and you will see how good 9 of the 12 songs are... this is one of the FEW recent albums that I am actually glad I bought. Most others I wish I had just bought the single.
How can anyone compare this woman to that evanescence chick?! Anastacia has a MUCH more powerful voice, and she has several different styles, almost all of here songs inspire me, boost my confidence. On the other hand, most of evanescence's songs are downright depressing (some even suicidal - way to go), and they are basically heavy metal... totally different styles.
What I love about Anastacia is you don't have to be head over heels in love to really enjoy her music. Keep it up girl!!!
And the comparison with Taylor Dayne? Please- Taylor Dayne sounds more like Whitney Houston. *returns from the spew bucket*
I can't understand why the Amazon sales rank is only ~3000 CDs ??!!
Exceptional CD ! Great Lyrics , Great Songs! March 29, 2004 7 out of 9 found this review helpful
An Absolutely Fantastic Album By A Woman With An Exceptional Voice! Anastacia is the best diva To Come Along In a Long While, There are very Few Women Who you Can say Are Real Divas But I Think Anastacia Is.

It is a good way to open the album, but, its alot more music than singing 2.Left Outside Alone (5/5) such a good song! good 1st single, gets kinda old after 20 listens... 3.Time (5/5) The song that swept the world! This song is addictive! You can see they really worked on it 4.Sick and Tired (4/5) Great Song 5.Heavy On My Heart (4/5) Another Great Song 6.I Do (featuring Sonny of P.O.D.) (5/5) The song I liked most on the whole album. Fabulous beat and lyrics!! 7.Welcome To My Truth (4/5) Welcome To My Truth !Great 8.Pretty Little Dum Dum (4/5) Beatiful Song, Great Lyrics 9.Sexy Single (2/5) No Hay Comentarios 10.Rearview (3/5) Sin Comentarios 11.Where Do I Belong (4/5) Great Song 12.Maybe Today (5/5) This is a slow ballad that is MAYBE TODAY beautiful and Anastacia's sexy accent sounds as if it were made for this song ...
