Amazing album - By: chuckles, 06 Nov 2008 
This album should just not work..... but it does. I had the same feeling when the Scissor Sisters covered one of my all time favourites... Comfortably Numb, I wanted to hate it, but the version was so good I couldn't. The one track I dont like is Pretty Green, but apart from that I loved the originals of these tracks &in some cases I like the covers even more. The highlight (not the obvious Amy Winehouse track) is Stop me, how you can merge the Smiths into 90's dance music, I dont know?..... Mark Ronson does!
absolutely overrated rubbish bad version of phil spector!! - By: Mr. S. L. Smith, 14 Aug 2008 
dont get me wrong he is talented i mean he produced the classisc by amy winehouse back to black which is fab buy it!! he produced back to black very well but i find this to be boreing & the cover versions nothing wrong with the originals even no most of them im not that bothered by radiohead etc do yourself a favour just buy the valerie single its the only reason i bought this album for i thought id give it a go as you do well sorry mark youre talented but maybe not on the scale as phil spector? but back to black you should be proud of that its like phil spector album but with a slight modern feel to it & amy winehouse i love her she is cool her new album out end of the year cant wait!! dont buy this!!

A welcome 'new Moby'? - By: Mitch, 10 Apr 2008 As a fan of Singer/Song-writers & 'live' music - I am generally wary of anything which might be construed as plastic-pop. More to the point - how does 'The Producer' manage to get his name on the front of the album? Impressive to say the least - but Moby did it with huge success - so why not?
Having seen Ronson & the Music Week awards, accepting an award & playing a set as DJ - he truly is one of the least impressive & under-stated talents I have seenin some time - HOWEVER...
This album deserves the success it has had - & deserves a paying listening audience. It is so different to so much of the rubbish that gets produced today. The entire album is very easy to listen to (though without immediate repetition) & the covered songs are done soin a very original manner. The diversity of artists is also a refreshing change although I find Lily Allen to be supremely annoying, lazy & talentlessin her 'can't be ars*d' delivery. It's unfortunate that Amy Winehouse is such a laughable mess & I wouldn't support her alleged 'habit' by buying her records - but her voice does suit Valerie - though like Alanis Morisette or Duffy - I think 40 minutes of it would be enough to promote a destructive act.
On the whole - Mark has done music a favour by reminding the public that there is more to life than Soul, R&B, Thrash & pop. What's more he has marketed himself as an 'Artist' which I see as entirely appropriate when I see some of the 'TAT' that 'Artists' are allowed to displayin 'TATE.'
Well done Mark - for introducing new flavoursin an increasingly bland sweet-shop. Have a Brit on me (but lose the Mid-Atlantic accent p-lease) !
