Thanks to a gaggle of loyal MySpace friends, Kate Nash skyrocketed to the top of the British charts just a year after penning her first song, so you might expect her first album to sound a bit cobbled together. In reality, it is a wildly exuberant, refreshingly original set of songs that suffers from only a few lyrical clunkers and less-than-realized melodies. For the most part, it follows mentor Lily Allen's genre-busting lead, wrapping charming tunes like "We Get On" and "Pumpkin Soup" around lopsided beats, simple piano melodies, and blunt kiss-offs that Nash delivers through a laughably thick cockney accent. "Foundations" brings everything together beautifully, spinning a romantic argument into a surprisingly poignant and memorable single that confirms her sudden success as no fluke. — Aidin Vaziri

- AWFUL!
- I can't believe that this ENTIRE album is so full of songs with nothing to say. Her over the top British accent gets tiresome, her uninspired lyrics may appeal to the average 14 year old who actually believes the way to get over a broken heart is to just drink and pout. I was patient with the first few tracks, but each… More reviews
- Disappointing

- Kate Nash: Some one new yet growing strong........
- I only recently stumbled upon Kate Nash at a concert at First Avenue in Minneapolis. She was absolutely outstanding in concert and this album will compliment my fond memories of this event. Her britpop music is catchy and the album is well done. Clearly there are a few tracks which I could live without but the others make it an outstanding album and one… More reviews
- I Wouldn't Be Surprised to See Kate Nash Go Far
- Made of Bricks is an album from Irish-born English singer Kate Nash that doesn't break any new ground, but what artist does these days? She writes happy pop songs on this album.
