Album Description
On her 2008 Island Def Jam debut, Love Is Dead, Estonian singer Kerli (born Kerli Koiv) unveils an electro-tinged collection of goth-pop songs. Coming across as Marilyn Manson's creepy kid sister, Kerli combines the sensibilities of Evanescence and Bjork, as best revealed on the haunting "Walking on Air" and the dramatic, string-heavy title track. 12 tracks.

Walking on Air August 18, 2008
T. Hardiman
I first heard "Walking On Air" in a restaurant. I couldn't believe the sound, so I stopped the waiter and asked who it was. After finding out her name, I bought the CD next day. I love it. It's great-sounding and very motivating, but the last few songs are a little "NEEEEEXT." I still love her, though. She's very pretty and creative and she writes all of her songs too. The only thing I don't like about Kerli is that she isn't considerate. I watched her on live video answering fan questions and she was pretty rude.

Kerli is not the typical music I listen to. I usually listen to hard rock, so when I found out that Kerli was a pop singer, I assumed I wouldn't like it. However, I just became so interested in her that I bought the album. I am very satisfied with the album.
1. Love Is Dead - 10/10. A powerful first song and single. It can be interpreted as either a song about breaking up or about the world in general.
2. Walking On Air - 10/10. Catchy and so far the most famous Kerli song.
3. The Creationist - 8/10. It is catchy, and I know it's a good song, but somehow I skip it sometimes... it's just a little weird, or something.
4. I Want Nothing - 10/10. Very catchy, something you can dance to and sing along with.
5. Up Up Up - 8.5 or 9/10. The verses are annoying but I like the chorus.
6. Bulletproof - 10/10. Beautiful and emotional.
7. Beautiful Day - 6.5 or 7/10 - I tend to forget this song, but it is nice.
8. Creepshow - 10/10. Hilarious and catches your attention.
9. Hurt Me - 10/10. Catchy and good.
10. Butterfly Cry - 10/10. Beautiful and sad.
11. Strange Boy - 10/10. One of my favorites. Extremely catchy and fun to listen to.
12. Fragile - 10/10. This song kinda touched me. It's very sad and pretty. It's about how people don't watch what they say around quiet or shy or nice people because they think they won't care, but they do. I think a lot of people will relate.
In general, the songs at the end are the best. The cover might be misleading, making it look gothic, but it is more of an alternative pop album. There are a lot of great musicians and bands coming out of Europe recently, which I love. Kerli has a little accent but it adds flavor to the songs. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for her.
pretty darn good. August 9, 2008

Good Cd,I just would have liked to hear more songs like 'Love Is Dead' and 'Bulletproof' on the Cd. Goes from Dark to off the wall Bjork style. But it was worth the price and I would recommend taking a chance and buying. I enjoyed it. 'Love Is Dead' and 'Bulletproof' are great songs.

Love Is Dead by kerli is a medium album, and sound a little misproduced and weak in the melodies. here the track-by-track:
Love Is Dead- 6/10. The first single has beautiful lyrics, but the sound is too loud, and reach to the point that you cannot hear what she is singing.
Walking On air- 9/10. One of the best songs in the album, the rythmyn is very cool and the lyrics are very personal, she should explore more this kind of "Hip-Hop" sound.
The Creationist- 5/10. The usual mid-happy song in dark albums, i can imagine this music video... she walking on the street singing this silly song...
I Want Nothing- 9/10. Other good track in the album, it remembers me of t.A.T.u. with the strong and quick beat.
Up Up Up- 0/10. The worst song, i didn't hear it, but just in the first minute i noted this is a bad song.
Bulletproof- 5/10. This is not a good song, but the lyrics are very emotional and has a lot of significate, remembers me of Evanescence (I don't like Evanescence).
Beautiful Day- 4/10. Another mid-happy song, but it's a little worst than "The Creationist" because of the chorus that is annoying.
Creepshow- 10/10. The best song, some people are talking that she did this song "just for fun", but it's very cool and it's rythmyn combines with her kind of different voice. She should do more songs like this.
Hurt Me- 5/10. A very weird song, it has a kind of masochismic lyrics, and differs from the innocent (or not) songs of the album. Could be a song from Marylin Manson.
Butterfly Cry- 6/10. Despite the weird title (I think butterflies cannot cry), the song is not so bad, is very emotional and personal.
Strange Boy- 8/10. A cool song, i think she did this song "just for fun", she mixed kind of dance rythmyn with soft rock, which in my opinion is very cool.
Fragile- 7/10. A good song to close the album, has a very calm feel and the lyrics are beautiful.
Overall- 5/10. Her debut could be a lot better. It seems like her producers let her do wathever she want and the album sound a little immature and weak, but the artwork is very beautiful and well done unlike the songs.
