Details: Product Description 2002 release from Canadian artist compared to Alanis Morrisette and Fiona Apple for her dark and sometimes angry music. Enhanced. Universal Music. Amazon.ca Holly McNarland has attitude to spare, a tough-as-chain-mail rocker-chick look, and a strong, powerful voice. Too bad the material fails her on this, her second album. Wan and uninspired melodies inform most of the self-penned material, while McNarland overcompensates with earnest, strangled vocalizing that decimates any subtlety that might have otherwise snuck in. The disc isn't without its strengths, however. A team of producers, including Warne Livesey (Matthew Good Band, Midnight Oil) and Mark Howard (the Tragically Hip) add enough bells and whistles to almost distract attention from the generally lacklustre tunes. But "Do You Get High" and "Losing My Face," the two cuts co-written by former Good Band guitarist Dave Genn, are both dynamic rock songs with memorable riffs and satisfying choruses. Too often though, Home Is Where My Feet Are feels as overwrought, and unintentionally silly, as its title. --Shawn Conner
