iTunes Review
In between the lines on 2003’s Hotel Paper, you can hear Michelle Branch going through the growing pains of young adulthood. Add the pressures of rising pop stardom to the mix and you pretty much have the essence of this solid sophomore release. With the help of producer John Leventhal, Branch ventures into bluegrass territory (“Love Me Like That,” a duet with Sheryl Crow), dips her toes into swampy sounds (“Empty Handed”) and flirts with sultry R&B (“Desperately”). Branch passes through a battery of broken and thwarted relationships, with the stinging “Are You Happy Now” and the aggrieved “Breathe” carrying the most emotional charge. More bittersweet are thoughtfully yearning tracks like “It’s You” and “One of These Days.” At various points, Branch sounds like a better-mannered Avril Lavigne or a less-genteel Jewel. For all its studio polish, Hotel Paper sounds like a transitional work by an artist still in the throes of self-discovery — in fact, that’s part of its charm.

She is soooo amazing!
by Dancergrl193I love her songs!!! They are always in my head. Nice job, Michelle!

by meganfoxluverthe intro is kinda silly, but the whole album is great! it's just too bad she didn't have wanting out in this album, cuz now ITUNES DOESNT HAVE IT! And itunes really needs to get her albums everything comes and goes, and Broken Bracelet, which came out NINE YEARS AGO! SERIOULY! GO ON ALLMUSIC.COM AND TYPE IN MICHELLE BRANCH BROKEN BRACELET! ITS EVEN ON WIKIPEDIA! but i still can really relate to are you happy now! AND, HER NEW ALBUM COMES OUT NOVEMBER TENTH, 2009!!!!!!
Downright amazing
by ImaginationMadnessHotel Paper, in my opinion, is not nearly as good as The Spirit Room, but I give it five stars anyway. Even though Michelle already sounded mature on her debut album, she matured ten times more on Hotel Paper. All of these songs prove how much she has grown up, and she's not like those typical Disney teeny boppers...which we have too many of nowdays. However, the intro, I think, should've been combined to the beginning of Are You Happy Now, and make that track 1, because that was just an 11-minute waste off of the whole CD. That last track, It's You, has an outro at the end, why couldn't they do the same in the beginning??? That doesn't make too much sense....but otherwise, my favorite songs are Are You Happy Now (she rocks out!!) Find Your Way Back, Tuesday Morning, One Of These Days, and Till I Get Over You (I love the French-speaking background vocals). Overall, this album is done very well, but I liked The Spirit Room a bit better.
