It's quite incredible how much success New Jersey-based quintet My Chemical Romance have had since the release of their debut album 'I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love' in 2002. With only one single off the album entering into the UK charts [Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough For The Two Of Us] it seemed that this goth/punk/screamo act would not exactly be the band to 'take over the world', so to speak.

Scottish singer-songwriter Tunstall delivers a richly layered masterpiece that repays repeated listening. Her arresting imagery is elemental, concerned with travelling and water: "She's waiting like an iceberg, waiting to change," from opening track Other Side Of The World. This begins in a delicate manner reminiscent of Coldplay, then slowly builds to a passionate, panicked climax as "The fire fades away." Her vocals vary from Sheryl Crow-like playful teasing on the folky Under The Weather, to aggressive blues shouting reminiscent of Jack White on Black Horse And The Cherry Tree, an insanely catchy combination of hand-claps, skiffle beats and energetic stomping that ends much too quickly.
