Album Description
This package includes 4 Dido postcards.
(Amazon.co.uk Review) Safe Trip Home, the third album from singer-songwriter Dido, sees the chanteuse cook up a slightly different ambience than on previous albums No Angel (1999) and Life for Rent (2003). Though her signature elements remain in place--the limited, slightly cracked falsetto; the dreamy, comforting trip-hop vibe--there seems to be an extra density to Safe Trip Home, doubtless provoked by the loss of her father in 2006. The added weight is predominantly in the lyrics, which tend to focus on loss and heartache, but there's extra detail and depth in the musicianship too, since Dido has been busy honing her skills as a multi-instrumentalist. Despite the denser themes, the music still drifts by in classic Dido style, moving smoothly through the insouciant “Don't Believe in Love", the aptly titled “Quiet Times", and “Never Want to Say It's Love", before arriving at the somber-yet-elegant six-minute standout “Grafton Street", co-written with Brian Eno and featuring Mick Fleetwood on drums. The rest of the album unfurls in similarly sophicticated fashion, featuring the folkish “Look No Further", the upbeat “Us 2 Little Gods", and a nine-minute poetic closer called “Northern Skies". Put simply, Safe Trip Home is Dido in superlative form. --Danny McKenna

Customer Reviews:
Dido's newest CD
This CD has some very good songs, and is enjoyable but I rate music as for how long I can listen to it before getting bored. My favorites I can play over and over, but Dido sounds too much the same after a few plays.
A great CD! 
Dido's CD is excellent ....as good as her 1st CD. Alot of thought went into this one!!!
Dido
Disc could not be read / played on certain players.
The CD itself did not have good sound when played.
Too little, too late...
It's an OK album... I loved her second album "Life for Rent" but unfortunately this one is, as many of the other reviewers have written, it's a bit of a disappointment: too little, too late.
:-(
Lovely but not so Lovely
At the risk of sounding shallow, I do not find SAFE TRIP HOME nearly as compelling and inventive as her second album, LIFE FOR RENT. As other reviewers have remarked, this album is a bit of a downer. To release a "downer" record, it needs to be truly great. The elements are here; but they fail to come together. LIFE FOR RENT is a song cycle of lost love that, for all its bitterness and sorrow, ended with the beautiful and hopeful "See The Sun". SAFE TRIP HOME is more about resignation with an absence of expectation. The album cover of an astronaut adrift in space alone outside the world just about says it all. Still, this is a good album. But for a Dido album, good is not good enough. Given the dismal state of much of contemporary music, we needed more.
