Editorial Review:
Mary Ann Meets The Gravediggers And Other Short Stories is a 2-disc CD/DVD (PAL/Region 0) album set comprising a 12-track CD album compiling the highlights of the entire recording-output thus far from one of the most enticingly eclectic & classically confounding artistes to still reside amidst her mid-twenties; drawing together songs from her long out-of-print debut album 11:11, tracks from the follow-up Songs and highlights from her magical breakthrough Soviet Kitsch and including the single 'Us'. Also includes a bonus DVD featuring the 'Survival Guide To Soviet Kitsch' and the music video for 'Us'. *Please note you will need an All Code DVD player to view. Sire. 2006.

Rating:  - Unnecessary.
This is an entirely unnecessary release. A compilation album, however well-done, is not the proper venue for Regina's work, even as an introduction. Her albums each have a great degree of individual character, and in this compilation lose so much in context. I know a lot of people are anxious to jump on the Spektor bandwagon right now, but it's worth tracking down the individual albums. Begin to Hope and Soviet Kitsch are of course widely available, and can be found right on this site. The other ... Read More
Rating:  - A MUST HAVE
This is a collection of songs from Regina Spektor's first 3 USA releases.
Regina's first 2 releases were not available in the U.K. Regina is an
intelligent singer/songwriter/performer. She can make a single note sound
as if you have never heard it before..This CD is a beautiful example of
Regina's immense talent.The quality of sound is also "tops"
p.s. Regina sounds like a classically trained musician(HERSELF)

Rating: - quite a jem
Regina Spektor has shocked my musical tastes into shape yet again! Ever since I listened to "Us" from Soviet Kitch, I have loved Regina's lyrics and innovative vocals. This CD combines songs from Regina's previous CDs including the hard to find "Songs" and "11:11". Part of the reason I love Mary Ann Meets the Gravediggers is that each song on the CD is so distinct ( you have stories about condemned men being warned not to drown in the bath and sneaky murderesses and a woman with cancer who decides ...

Rating:  - UNIQUE!!
Ms Spektor is a wonderful artist who knows how to use her voice like a fine instrument. She employs so many facets of singing that I would not know how to "classify" her music. Possibly cabaret? Some light rock? But oh-so-interesting lyrics. This music might be a little harsh for the over-40 crowd. But as a 57-year old grandma, I feel my son has broadened my horizons my introducing me to such wonderful and unique music as Ms Spektor's. I will definitely buy more of her music.
Rating: - not eclectic, but still profound
eclectic - Selecting or employing individual elements from a variety of sources, systems, or styles. this does not mean "really different sounding" or "quirky" which is actually true of r.s.. regina is extremely talented, and it's not her fault if her listeners don't know basic vocabulary. her voice is the same on every song. her piano is the same on every song, but...she is different from EVERYONE else, so it ellicits records that are listen-worthy, eccentric, and enjoyable. perhaps they mean eccentric...
