Dido's debut is molded from Sarah McLachlan's intimate soul, Sinéad O'Connor's Celtic yelp, and Beth Orton's morose resolve--with all the sharp edges rounded out. Sculpted by producers Rollo (her brother) and techno-scientist Youth, No Angel is dream-pop mixed with Portishead-esque trip-hop; the results are midtempo ballads that would feel at home in Seal's neighborhood. The melancholy opener, "Here with Me," incorporates acoustic rhythm guitar, fluid strings, and a snare-driven tempo that simulates the slapping of rain off a windshield. "My Lover's Gone" is ethereal and misty, sounding at once ancient and modern with its synthesized ocean sounds and seagull cries. The only clunker is "Don't Think of Me," a passive, soft-bellied cousin to Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know." These songs play out beautifully in that quiet zone between slumber and consciousness--where you can see everything behind closed eyes. --Beth Massa

No Angel being was originally release in 1999 but struck gold in 2001 by peaking at #1 in Austria, The Uk Albums chart, Finland and France. Singles realesed of this album are "Here With Me", "Thank You", "Hunter" and "All You Want". The booklet contains many photographs of Dido through her life. All the lyrics are included and we also have a list of whom plays what on the album. 5/5.

There's alot of reviews on Amazon that I think are just completely pointless, I'm not saying that someone has to totally agree with what I think over someone's album, even when someone gives an album a really good review it can different because we all interpret music in different ways. I wish Amazon would delete the pointless reviews that don't mention the actual album in any way at all.
I think there are some brilliant albums that have been released but there aren't alot of albums ... Read More

I was honestly expecting more, after reading the reviews and acclaim. But this album is simply average. It takes from a wide range of sources in which the music is just simply done better! Her voice is average at best, with no substance that would make it attractive were it not for the production of the sound. The lyrics are cheesy and corny and plain dumb. I'm not sold!

After hearing and immediately falling in love with Dido's second album, "Life for Rent", I decided to give her debut album a shot. (Over 1,000 reviews giving it high ratings didn't hurt either.)
The cd opens out with the smashing "Here with Me" that shows the power and strength that I love in Dido's "White Flag". The lyrics are simple, but it's so stirring, you won't be unmoved.
Dido then slides into dark and troubled waters with "Honestly OK", "My Lover's Gone", and "My Life", which ... Read More

Let me join in the chorus of five-star reviews to praise this perfect pop album. Dido (whose full name is Dido Florian Cloud de Bounevialle O'Malley Armstrong) first caught my attention when I heard her song "Thank You" on the Sliding Doors soundtrack (which Eminem sampled in his UK number-one single "Stan"). However, her breakthrough occurred a year later with the release of No Angel, which has since sold twelve million copies worldwide. My interest in Dido soared. The album features two singles, ...
