Quiet (and boring and the worst album i've ever heard) nights!

Good morning one and all.
This blog is slightly old news but its something I feel still need discussing. Diana Krall's latest album - Quiet nights. Before I rip this album apart you should now that generally I really like jazz vocalists, especially modern one's and there are a few of them on the scene at the moment. The two obvious artists being Madeline Peyroux and Melody Gardot and their albums are really good.
So on to the point, if these jazz artists are realising good albums, why would Diana Krall make a bad one! I just doesn't make sense! But not only did she make a bad album she has made the worst album I've ever heard!
The biggest problem with it is that is that it not the sound or the fact that she covers a bunch of old songs that have already been covered to death, but for me it's all in the vocal.
It's just so dull, it's as if someone woke Diana up at 3am and told her her puppy was dead and then told her they will keep killing puppies until she sings 14 really boring songs!
If there is anything good to be said it that "walk on by" isn't so bad, but only because it's actually the same as the original!
The sad thing is this album could have been so much better. I can believe she finish this album and said "yes, I'm happy with this, let get in on the shelves!"
NO you moron, it's clearly not finished! Why not get your husband (Elvis Costello) to help you out, even your best bud Eric Clapton to lend a hand! But no, what you did is release a piece of crap that couldn't be more beige if you tried!


thanks for reading!
