I purchased this album because it was on several of the "gotta have" cool lists I'd read about. Since I had heard Mercy on the radio, I thought the sound was really cool-- so I didn't listen to other tracks before I purchased the album. I even saw Duffy on the VMA's and thought she was great! The song Mercy is not really indicative of what is on the entire album. The rest of the tracks are a bit slow and all the songs sounded similiar. Although I think Duffy is talented, I would recommend listening to the entire album before purchasing. I wish I had!
