Review Date: December 1, 2007
Reviewer: David Faulkner, Richmond, VA USA
I bought this CD without hearing any of the songs, because I was looking for a DRM-free download of her latest CD and couldn't find one. I was incredibly surprised by how good this CD was! The spare arrangements perfectly complement the almost-but-not quite bluesy melodies and Regina's amazing vocal acrobatics. This was the first CD I've bought in years that I listened to all the way through without getting bored, and I've liked a lot of those CDs. This CD never gets boring, and never takes itself too seriously. Great pick.
Fiona, step aside. Regina Spektor is in the House!

Fiona Apple needs to move over.

"Love Affair" kicks off this raw album with a flair that reaches out to all of us engineers who know we're every damn bit as good as those doctors and law-awyers!

My initial reaction to this album was, "What cut-rate studio released this thing?" My quest to answer that reveled a truly valuable gem in my music library.

11:11 is a rare peek into the past. It's a time capsule, if you will, of a true artist who has since blossomed and grown into a media magnate. Listen to these raw beats and coarse lyrics in a time when Regina didn't have the financial backing to hire an expensive producer, musical accompaniment, promoter, or even a CD jacket designer! What you'll experience is the genuine look and feel of Regina in her purest form displaying her passion and musical integrity.

While her latest Warner Brothers funded effort, "Begin to Hope," offers a much more compelling and inspiring body of work with songs such as "Fidelity," "Better," and "On the Radio," at times it can feel too perfect. We almost lose touch with Regina because she becomes untouchable. 11:11, on the other hand, allows us to reach back to a better day when fancy studio cuts were only a fantasy and music was to be enjoyed as a spontaneous form of art.

If you, as I, are in love with "Begin to Hope," buy this album and own a piece of Regina Spektor before she made it big. Embrace the raw cuts for their integrity, and revel in a body of work that allows you to see into the soul of a magnificent performer.

And if Regina is reading this, won't you come to San Antonio?
good early album by a wonderful artist

Reviewer: Rebaspike,
While I really like her new album "Far" and have nothing but good things to say about her other albums, this early release has sparse production/bare bones but her voice really shines and this album is one that really needs to be heard also. A really good early work by Ms. Spektor.
