"So I'm a little left of center, I'm a little out of tune," sings Michelle Branch on her debut album's "You Get Me." Well, maybe. Branch offers a well-produced pastiche of chiming and strumming guitars, hip-hop-lite beats, quiet-verse-to-louder-chorus templates, and positive thinking. At her best--"If She Only Knew," a propulsive love note to an ex--she rivals the likes of Sixpence None the Richer as likable radio-aimed fare. Catchy and self-expressive while breaking absolutely no ground, Branch also echoes everyone from label-mate Alanis Morissette to the solo Belinda Carlisle. She dies just a little in this crazy mixed-up world, escapes to her secret garden for sunshine in the pouring rain, and ultimately finds her reflection getting clearer. The Spirit Room could be the next bit of pop philosophy to dazzle mainstream audiences. --Rickey Wright

 Love Every Track. January 3, 2009
Pocha Dot
This A Wonderful Album, People Get The Wrong Idea When It Comes To Michelle Branch ,I Believe. Which Is Why So Many Popmusic Fans Are Dissapointed Or Bitter With Her Music. "Michelle Branch" Is Not About Being Pretty Or Singing With Outstanding Range. It's About The Arrangement, The Sound Of The Guitar Paired With Vocals That Are'nt Perfect. While Michelle Branch Can Harmonize And Play Guitar, Her Vocals Are Not Spectacular But The Passion In Her Songwriting And The Singing "Itself" That Captivates, She Also Has An Innocence About Her Which Makes Her Standout These Days. "All You Wanted" "Everywhere" "Here With Me" "Drop In The Ocean" Are My Favorites. I Play This Entire Album Without Skips
Still great 7 years later December 26, 2008
Joshua Banker (Clovis, CA)
This album is still great 7 years after it was initially released. Not too many albums are able to maintain this amount of consistency from the first track to the last track and is able to hold up this well. There are a very few albums that are able to maintain quality thru the entire album. The song "Everywhere" will always be my favorite track not only because it is a great album opener but because it was what sold me on Michelle Branch's style and sound.
I remember when this album came out it was very different for the times. In 2001 artists like Britney Spears dominated the radio. A lot of the female singers sounded very much the same and very "manufactured" by their label. All of the songs were written by other writers with little to no input from the "artist". Michelle Branch was an exception to the rule, writing most of her music and she is able to play the guitar. To me the song became that much more special when the singer is the one who wrote the words because it makes it that much more personal.
There are probably very few people at this point who don't know who Michelle Branch is but if you had just recently discovered her music thru her country band The Wreckers take the time to listen to the samples, you will find this in a very similar the sound of her later work.

This album has such gorgeous songs on it...I listen to it over and over. The meaning and feeling in each song is wonderful. Michelle Branch has such an amazing voice and she is such a great songwriter. True talent!

When I first discovered Michelle Branch in high school, I quickly became obsessed, and now she is my favorite artist. She's one of the most talented female singer/songwriters out there today. She writes, sings, and plays guitar in all of her songs, but none of them are repetitive or become too mainstream pop (i.e. Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson). The mark of a true artist is that they aren't afraid to collaborate in other genres, and Michelle has done just that with Santana and as half of the country duo The Wreckers. I do admit that I like her solo projects the best, though, and in many ways, I think her first album The Spirit Room is her strongest, becuase it's so raw and real and created her original sound. For me, it's a classic and one that I can listen to over and over at anytime, anywhere.
