Album Notes & Community Reviews

Capitalizing on their massive commercial breakthrough, the Welsh band Catatonia delivered a highly polished, heavily produced pop-rock album. 'Equally Cursed and Blessed' relies entirely on Cerys Matthews's distinctly powerful vocal delivery and incredibly catchy, radio-ready Britpop hooks.
