I fell in love with Chelsea's music before this album was released. I heard almost all these songs live when she was doing very small performances and open mics. Some I heard the first recorded versions because after talking to her the first time I met her we became Myspace friends and she had several recordings on there. The music sounded more clear with just her guitar. I still love it. The songs are awesome and we were just in our early 20's then, the lyrics are great, even if not what we'd write in our mid-30's. I'm a writer too (stopped writing songs, but I write everything else) and I get it. While I got praise for my writing in those days, what I'm writing now is light-years ahead, there's a depth to it that I hadn't developed yet. Also as an artist my identity and what I want to portray and have published are different, back then I wanted everything I wrote to be published. I'm more discerning now, I have specific things to say a certain style that represents my artistry. I'm sure the person who made this album is still there and could easily make a song in the same vein as these, but then she would edit it more, refine it more, add more layers and that is how you get the Chelsea Wolfe music that is currently being released. This was the first Mp3 I ever purchased and I only wish I still had it. It's still the soundtrack for that period of my life. For instance Inside A Girl sounded completely different and I was not fond of the change when I first got the album. Nothing, No One and Your Name remind me of most of the music I heard her playing at the time and were fairly (if not completely) the same as the way I heard.

[@Monochrome32]

"Winter" is a masterpiece. Just for this song the album would deserve a proper release

[@simonbestre8062]

This is a brilliant album. Chelsea's voice gets lost much of the time on her most recent stuff, but here we can feel its true richness and beauty. Utterly stunning. Yes, some of her newer songs I like, but none have the honesty, melody and true emotional vulnerability this album offers. Truly beautiful. Thank you Chelsea, thank you Alex for posting it. I now know why she is so revered and respected. This is unbelievable, I'm privileged to have heard this enchanting music.

[@addictedtosoundmedia]

Honestly i prefer this, than her new stuff... she is drowning her voice with all those effects, and it makes me not be able to connect with her voice. She thinks she needs all those effects, but I understand, She is designing a track, and perhaps wants to use her voice as an instrument as well.. but it seems to overproduced and distant, is like she tries to sound like a goth version on Bjork or Lana del Rey. It doesn't feel like herself anymore.

[@TeketaShine]

I think this is my favorite album to emotionally belt at the top of my lungs. I wish it was released on vinyl.

[@herbalitoo]

I heard Chelsea Wolfe yesterday for the first time and I'm smitten, love struck, in total awe and adoration. ("Mer" to a vid with Felice Lilith Fawn.) I'm lost for words!

[@MorteTheSkull]

I honestly love this album, but I can understand why Chelsea's embarrassed by it. It's a really emotionally honest album about what it feels like to be like, 20-something and have a really bad breakup that actually is probably not as big a deal as you think it is. It'd be embarrassing to look back and realize how dramatic she was being, and also like, how absurdly melodramatic the lyrics are and stuff. But that's also what I love about the album; it's rough and embarrassing and melodramatic in a way that captures that feeling of being that age and having a big heartbreak better than something more refined could.

[@MorteTheSkull]

Also as someone else mentioned, it is nice to hear her voice in a more "clean" recording.

[@addictedtosoundmedia]

because it's a really emotionally honest album, as you put it.

[@dylanwithers5473]

This might be when she was being nudged in the traditional singer/songwriter/popstar direction by her label. It sounds nice but I agree with her not wanting to put it out; it would've been too much of a stretch from this to 'Grime' and would've developed the wrong fanbase most likely. But this is a nice easter egg for those interested for sure.

[@yul.ansgt.17]

Exactly, and you can't compare that with new Goth Queen.

[@paradoxdecayed471]

Music is like a drug to me, I usually wake up in the morning craving a certain album. This is what I want. Really Kinda in accordance to my mood, but anywho. I like this album, there is still some dark minor key stuff. Even though Chelsea shuns it as of now I hope she does realize our lives are a continuum, stepping stones to our present selves. Everything good or bad that's happened to me I now appreciate because its made me who I am today and I'm comfortable with that.

[@deado.s8706]

I really dont know why this album is so underrated. Personally believe its a great album. There is nothing embarrassing here...

[@maddiemonster]

I really like her voice when it isnt drowned in so much reverb you cant hear it.

[@m..o.mt.3235]

I'm glad I came back I like this artist too. Peace.b

[@ChuckHitler]

It definitely sounds like someone is trying to pull puppet strings on her, but you still find the Chelsea wolfe easter egg underneath it all. She has a spooky way of composing that sticks out like a sore thumb, even when caked with layers of "generic female singer songwriter" frosting. It feels as though this is what Amy Lee attempted to sound like. I still like it though the lyrics feel insincere. but the music feels (mostly) genuine.

[@valentinarodriguez7163]

every artist is ashamed of their beginning works to some extent. it doesn't mean at all its no good. It's development. friedrich nietszche was very critical of his first book and it was genius. This, of course, is subjective. its a beautiful thing

[@crashyourhouse]

I can clearly understand why she dislikes this album. She grew up a lot, some of the lyrics on this album are very cliche. Still, she can show a lot of her potential through her voice. I'm glad of the musician she's today! I still like to listen to this album sometimes, just to check how she started her work. Sucess for her! My favorite singer nowadays

[@bearborne]

What a beautiful album. I love almost all of the songs

[@leebillyc1677]

brilliant album, totally underrated and how brilliant is 'Winter'???

[@Danlighter]

This is a pop album... big things have small beginnings.

[@ic0nify]

I absolutely love the album! Might be it's a lot too personal for her own taste...

[@MrWallow7]

my thoughts exactly

[@MsRedbelly]

It's quite lovely. In interviews she's said it's just not her, she was influenced to produce this kind of music. Her voice is always beautiful.

[@deb8225]

I totally would have listened to this in high school (late 90’s) right along with my Fiona Apple CDs 🖤

[@transmigrationrecordsimpri3647]

Her voice is still heavenly. You can take the pop out of the dark but not the dark out of the pop. I don't hear anything pop about this record, it's just not as ethereal and as atmospheric as she was to become. I think it's great - I like it! Throw some reverb on everything (especially the more acoustic tracks) and it would sound more like most know her to sound like. Nothing wrong with it - just very personal to her. Maybe someone should remix those acoustic tracks as an alternative.

[@all1813]

Almost 5 years since this was upload it!!! I do hope she will embrace it and release this ❤️❤️ sure its different from what Chelsea is now but its still her in this... the emotion, the atmosphere, beautiful melody’s singing sad depressive emotional stuff ❤️❤️❤️

[@helmutbargeld728]

This is totally listenable! It may not be where Chelsea's at these days but there's a lot in there to be proud of. It's mercifully free of nu-metal schtick as well - I was expecting something Evanescence-like but it sounds more like (prefigures?) Sky Ferreira.

[@gstocker3097]

This album just came on after my usual listening trilogy of Pain is Beauty, Abyss, and Hiss Spun... it's growing on me. Chelsea's one of my favorites to listen to while art making. I guess I kind of simp for her, especially after having seen her live and the music and the things she does with her voice are both chilling and heartbreaking. Quite a feat to have such an effect on a jaded old man like myself. She really uses her voice like an instrument, especially with all the treatments and layering. One of my favorite Doom artists for sure, even though she's not so easily categorized. Especially love when she does that ghost child whisper through slow motion fog from beyond the grave thing, like on Vex. Anyway, those elements are present here if you look closely enough, and yes it's very much an "Easter Egg" record. Nice to hear the stark clarity of her voice on this recording ❤

[@sashabrown1796]

Feels like someone figuring out what they are artistically, you can totally hear the Chelsea Wolfe darkness in the music. She sounds a lot like Elena Tonra here. She has a stunning voice as well, and has a bunch of songs like this before becoming full on 'Daughter', that are kinda cringey as well. Glad they both became the brilliant artists they are now!

[@clstile]

I’m glad somebody posted this .. the CD is going for $200 on Discogs ! I love everything she puts out

[@Pr1est0fDoom]

I know she said this album is garbage, but... I'm sorry, Ms. Wolfe, I still love it :-( It's not my top favorite album (that would be Hiss Spun), but I still think it's beautiful.

[@eveeyehorizon]

i fell in love with it 2011 when i discovered CW and i still love this album the most .it hit me on such a deep level back in the days that there are no words to explain that.i understand that she dont likes it anymore .it s so much about deep private feelings and thats like not her style that she wants to represent i guess.i wish it wasn t so and that we all could hope for such an emotional masterpiece like this here from her again (with all respect towards her other masterpieces which are amazing on their own) but ....anyway maybe one day she will accept her past and will not be ashamed of it anymore ...i love her and every one of u who loves this album like i do ,too.

[@laceylofton873]

I don't get y there r so many comments saying this is her "pop" album...I get that it's not like her current stuff, I luv her,but there is no way this cld b considered pop ,it's anything but ...always have ♡d WINTER!!!!

This album is truly a masterpiece. Love Chelsea Wolfe and other darker genres out there from the likes of NIN, Gary Numan, Tool, MassIve Attack, Portishead, Tricky, Allflaws

[@BensCoffeeRants]

Some of this reminds me of PJ Harvey, she had some pretty dark / heavy stuff too.

[@getthoseskills4451]

[@xTrengo]

"too lyrical" she says. I love it *shrug*

[@catherinebaggio2755]

Really nice to hear her voice such a 'natural' way. Also, kind of PJ Harvey vibes in here. I prefer her current stuff but i like this album, even if it is more mainstream.

[@ChefCynthea]

The album was released at several local shows in Sacramento. I own 2 copies.

[@jameshommersen7413]

+ChefCynthea Would you consider selling one? I cannot find this album anywhere and would love to own a physical copy.

[@usedfuzzbox]

I came to Chelsea Wolfe rather late in the day, with Pain is Beauty, which is a classic.Really liking this early stuff though as well, really shows off her voice and talent imho, shame she's not so keen?

[@worthless_opinion]

This is her greatest album. I so wish she'd play these songs live.

[@laertesdd]

she had and has an amazing voice. but this music is at best nice, nothing more. sounds like a standardized pop album to me. luckily, chelsea has found herown unique style and is developing it further. thanks for uploading, though.

although I agree with a lot of the criticism about this album, you Alex Nug got yourself a follower for having this gem.

listening to someone else's song is different to living your own ... there are always questions of bearable intensity to be considered and other personal needs

I have no problem with it . Glad she found her "Nietzsche" though. Maybe like tripping over something into a truer self, this is the only album of hers that reminds me of someone else at times. thanks 😈😂😇

[@helenafish5979]

А мне нравится этот альбом (кроме треков 1, 6 и 7). И нравится как раз тем, что он такой сырой и искренний. И тем, что я чувствую, словно это создал израненный дикий зверь, зализывающий раны в своём укрытии.

[@pianosinew6651]

+DFMelancholine Also look for Red Host, then. It was a small band she made for a short time, and I think they have a 3 song EP out there somewhere. There are some crappy youtube videos of a few of their songs, but their recordings were great.

[@daph.leppard]

+Piano Sinew thanks!! will do:)

[@tweevers2]

do you have her album Soundtrack VHS...it is unreleased but one of her best albums

[@rafaelamantino5176]

I like this album, my favourite song is “Your Name”, 17:46 to 20:26.

[@smittywerbenjagermanjensenn]

Yeah the songs are good, I think she was just embarassed by the lyrics. Everyone grows up.

[@stefan86wtf]

+vateceno pintola I enjoy the extremely straight forward lyrics though, feels honest

[@josephmills619]

I like this style more.i like to hear more of the vocals personally.

[@jacquelinediaz6694]

It's so different from her other albums but I do love it even though it's her "pop" album.

[@ysraelgabriel]

Chelsea y Yo cumplimos el mismo día, algo mejor no existíria 😍

[@DFACisaan]

I get why she doesn't like it. Cringeworthy lyrics in a lot of the songs that aren't like her other works at all. Still there's positive aspects too. The music isn't too bad, some songs are pretty decent. And Winter is brilliant.

[@anarchy6661]

winter is pure bliss

[@Crystynutza007]

You're kidding, right? Why "cringeworthy"? I actually find it more pure and more honest than any other of her albums. Sure, it's different, but there is nothing bad about that. This is one of my favourite albums of her! ;-)

[@chickenblaster]

This album has some good songs, I think it is more listenable than "The Grime and the Glow". That cd is pretty good, but the mix is murky as shit. Love that you can really hear her great voice very well here!

[@lucasonhisown]

Michael Bernier The "bad mix" of TGATG is intentional. It's supposed to sound like that because it's a Lo-Fi album recorded on an 8 track recorder.

[@stario]

@@lucasonhisown 4 track I thought. Either way, ya, it was be design and much of the charm of the album

[@SleepFan771]

Woah! Where did this come from? I thought she didn't want this released? She had nothing to be embarrassed about. I think she still sounds lovely as ever, but the music is too pop-heartless type generic stuff. A neat little look into her earlier musical styles. "Winter" is wicked though! It's heavy and reminds me of "Mer" and her doom songs on Apokalypsis, which is still my favorite album of Chelsea's.

[@hypnos4350]

The only track I actually enjoy is Inside a Girl...I love that song but the rest of the album is just not my kind of stuff. I really love Chelsea and I'm proud to see how much she has grown up, I'm excited to see what's next for her.

[@lucasonhisown]

Andy Carreau In my humble opinion "Inside a Girl" is the worst song on this album 😂

[@sabsini1]

Where can i find this Album? Is it unpublished?!

[@jeanmmm8171]

ok. is some "pop" biased, but is a good album and at least she would include: winter, dreamer and inside a girl in a special edition together Soundrack VHS/Gold best songs like "feel something". this music deserves to live.

[@Wakeup_and_smelltheroses]

It's not available on ITunes... Sad face.

[@Thomes-Maisling]

I won't be rushing to buy this one, though Winter is a standout song. It's all decent quality songwriting, but her newer stuff is far more original sounding. If I didn't know it was Chelsea Wolfe I might think I was listening to PJ Harvey.

[@hawaii3231]

Omg I forgot about the song no luck. I love it. I don’t know all of the songs off this album but the ones I do (all except the middle three) are not bad at all. Just not what she wanted to make I guess :(

[@vdelrio999]

I really like it. Different. And, that's great. IMO, an artist shouldn't try to keep a particular sound .. or else all their songs sound too similar.

[@armand760]

[@Adrian_232]

Honestly, if I'd heard this album in 2006 I would have said Chelsea Wolfe is a wannabe Tori Amos with reverb. Pretty much the opposite of who she is now. I can understand not wanting to put this album out

[@diskustophonik]

Maybe she doesn't like it because it sounds like she's attempting to be Amy Lee hah. Considering this is 2006, that would have been still a thing and probably the only real voice of darker alternative female musicians. When realistically, Chelsea Wolfe's newer content is way better than anything Amy Lee ever did.

[@lucosta5872]

I sense Jeff Buckley vibes.

[@thaloniel533]

Feels way too personal and soft after being introduced to her work by listening to Apokalypsis after a 3 day insomnia streak. It's still nice though, but definitely not my style - I'd dismiss her as another popgoth artist if this was the first album of hers I've heard :T Thankfully that didn't happen! :>

[@addictedtosoundmedia]

I think she hates it cause it lacks her trademark reverb pedals... ;o)

[@FionaAppleAddict]

I get her decision. Compared to other stuff of her it's just lame. Anyway, check out SOME GIRLS ARE DARKER THAN OTHERS and leave some feedback! ;)

[@thepap9697]

I think its not a bad álbum, though it sounds a bit like fiona Apple, I prefer listen to this than hiss spun

[@jackkoffin1]

This seems more like a Fiona Apple record than something from Chelsea Wolfe. I can understand why she's less enthused about it.

[@eIezium]

I can see where you're coming from to an extent, but only from the fact that both artistes are mind blowing. Obviously both went in different directions down the line, so comparing this to Tidal or When the Pawn... doesn't really wash, as all are very different lyrically, musically & structurally. & tbh, not much comes close to the power & sheer majesty of Tidal!

[@jackkoffin1]

I appreciate your affection for Fiona Apple's work. I didn't intend to disparage Apple, just to say that Chelsea's music on "Mistake in Parting" seems less true to the artistic vision of her unique later works and more like an imitation of someone else's singer/songwriter style. I was reminded of Fiona's earlier work in a shallow level, so that was where my mind went.

[@Hazrahel]

I totally get how she must feel about it: that's not who she is. Simple as that. Some songs are pretty decent, in one or two one can feel what was to come. Nevertheless most of it, although not "bad", feel just impersonal...

[@MrManchasm]

"im on my period" -this album

[@JAHWH00]

How did she let this happen?

[@perfectallycromulent]

It does not offend the ears, but it is a bit like listening to the b-sides from singles by PJ Harvey's little sister - at best. I'm sure there's some imitation of artists I don't listen to because I don't enjoy this type of "introspective woman with thoughts like many other introspective women who think their emotive introspections render instruments not really important" music. Unless I was told this was Chelsea Wolfe, I wouldn't know it was. And if it was available, I wouldn't buy it. And if somehow it got into my collection for free, and I was wanting to listen to Chelsea Wolfe - which happens often - I would never pick this to listen to.
