After playing supporting roles in Throwing Muses and the Breeders, Tanya Donelly proves she's got the vision/songs/smarts to pilot her own vehicle. "Angel," "Dusted," and "Feed the Tree" are short, sharp, edgy pop. --Jeff Bateman

 Consider revisiting March 29, 2008

"Feed the Tree" was a smash of sorts in 1993, and it remains a great single, a true indie hit to rank with (almost) The Smashing Pumpkins "1979" in terms of pure catchiness. A lot of the rest of this album is pedestrian, and after the stong opener "Someone to Die For" the next three songs, 13 years later, sound dated and absolutely disposible. But the record manages a couple other genuine highlights, including the oddly seductive "Slow Dog," "Gepetto" and the elegaic closer "Stay." Not a great album, but holds up better than anyone in 1993 could have imagined.
 A favorite of mine... June 14, 2007

I'm a big time Tanya Donelly fan and loved this album; however, I can also see where it's a little off the beaten track for mainstream taste and everyone else might not share my love for it. If you've picked up on some of the radio hits like Feed the Tree and Gepetto and aren't so sure you're going to take to the rest of the album, check out the Sweetest Ride: Best of Belly album. Otherwise, if your looking for something new and good, you've may well have found it here.

Belly sets up a mood with this album that is sustained throughout each song. The album's a little melancholy and sullen, moody and thoughtful. The music is sort of like what Fiona Apple's dreams must sound like. I've had the album for years and will never part with it.

I have owned this fascinating album for many years and keep coming back to it. The lyrics are strong, but it's the whole package that comes together: voice/harmonies, music (the guitars complement voice and theme perfectly), and lyrics (dark, poetic). Everyone knows it's rare to find an album you want to listen to all the way through, not just 2-3 tracks. This is one of those albums.

i have to admit that i'm a fan of 4AD bands such as Throwing Muses and Pixies (how couldn't i be?). But Star is such a fragile yet biting record. I keep on listening to it every half year or so, and i always feel amazed about how the songs don't sound old. It sometimes may sound a bit cheesy, but it's got a real sensibility. Angel and Dusted are thrilling and (in a worrying sad way) euphoric, while White Belly and Low Red Moon are touching and really dark. I would honestly say that every song here is a work of art...musically and lyrically.
