this record, like most of the things i've done has recieved a little bit of both. it has gotten 3, 4, 5 and 6 out of 6. some people like it a lot, and some people seem to judge the album by the fact that there are too many singer / songwriters etc. personally i think you should listen to it yourself and make up your own opinon. music is such an individual thing. still, it's always nice to hear the good words. thank you. and for the bad ones; burn in hell 4 ever. here are some catchy review quotes:

"an insanely good experience. a straight A!" -hugin

"the album is only supported by the strength of the melodies and the prencence of the vocals and egil olsen shows himself as a good songwriter, og finally gets to show the more voulnerable sides of himself." -smp

"egil olsen has a nice touch with meolodies and delivers 12 songs with a fine pop nerve only supported by himself on electric, or sometimes accoustic guitar." -panorama

"egil olsen is uncompromising and does not flinch from his accoustic idea. this is not bad." -dagladet

"i am a singer / songwriter is just as much a reflection upon the artist himself and the creation of the album, as a deliverence of external impressions, without in anyway getting embarrassingly selfsentered." -universitas

"an honest and at times quite humorous album with pretty melodies and lyrics." - musiq

"strength in writing great, simple melodies suited for the personal and simple lyrics." -bt

"a good voice and a great songwriting talent." -østlendingen

"such a quiet little thing -you can't avoid being touched." -ha

"extremely well-sounding and cosy little album, as made for melancholic autumn nights." -underdusken
