multikulti.com:
Susanna Wallumrrod znana z coverbandu Susanna & The Magical Orchestra to mistrzyni osobistego podejścia do interpretacji znanych utworów. Do nagrania swojej autorskiej płyty zaprosiła muzyków doskonale znanych: Helge Sten (Deathprod, Supersilent), Pal Hausken (In The Country) i gościnnie w dwóch piosenkach Bonnie "Prince" Billy.
Idealnie czysty głos Susanny, budzący momentalne skojarzenia z zamarzniętymi fiordami i zasypanymi śniegiem skandynawskimi krajobrazami, minimalistyczna oprawa dźwiękowa, energia, która się za tym kryje sprawia, że jej interpretacje ewoluują w zupełnie osobistym kierunku, gdzie znane hity stają się nowymi piosenkami.
Covery Thin Lizzy czy Sandy Denny, Black Sabbath czy Nico, Lou Reeda czy Abby nabierają zupełnie nowego uroku, czasami zachwycając ulotną nostalgią, innym razem wciągając w lekko depresyjny świat wyobraźni wokalistki.
Płytę 'Flower Of Evil z powodzeniem można postawić obok najlepszych nagrań sióstr Cassady [CocoRosie], Joanny Newsom, Cat Power czy Sufjana Stevensa.

Rock-a-Rolla (UK)
[...] Susanna Wallumrod, for the uninitiated, is one of the most incredible voices you will ever hear. The Norwegian sings in whispered jazz passages with a shimmering velvet that lays a cloak over everything, leaving you in a world filled only by her voice. With Flower Of Evil she continues her affectionate affair with classic rock cover versionsby the likes of Thin Lizzy, Nico, Sabbath and Lou Reed. She is joined on the album by Will Oldham for a pair of devastatingly good duets. The wistful duo lend a transcendent quality to the classic 'Without You' and the brilliant, piano led 'Jailbreak', which evokes more than a little of the spirit of Tori Amos. For all the brilliance of the 10 covers on display here, Wallumrod's two original contributions stand up to anything else, the haunting 'Wild Is The Will' being the highlight. The mark of a great cover is when the listener believes the song to be an original, and anyone who has beed sealed in a box for the last 30 years would believe they had stumbled on one of the greatest albums ever recorded.[...]


Q (UK)
[...] The Decision to record a covers album can suggest a failure of imagination. Not so with Norway's Susanna Wallumrod. Joined by The Magical Orchestra, she produced astonishing torch versions of Jolene and Love Will Tear Us Apart, and her second solo album weaves similar interpretative magic. Backed by funereal piano, her tremulous vocals strike to the disaffected heart of once-raucous anthems from Thin Lizzy and Prince, and renders ABBA's Lay All Your Love On Me both desperate and devastating. Elsewhere, more predictable selections from Sandy Denny and Nico still beguile, while two of her own songs prove she's no slouch in the songwriting department either.[...]


The Word (UK)
[...] The incredibly minimal piano accompaniment, full of unconventional chord changes, gives extra weight to Susanna's voice - an extraordinarily pure instrument that sounds more like Sandy Denny's every day. Perfect music for the nights of early winter, 'Flower Of Evil' will long keep casting its shadows, and its spell.[...]


Time Out (UK)
[...] Inventive interpretations, exquistively executed have always featured both on record and in her live sets. It's a rather crass distinction, but her versions can be divided into the likely and unlikely, the former represented by Sandy Denny's quivering 'Who Knows Where The Time Goes' and Nico's brittle but haunting 'Janitor of Lunacy', the latter by Lou Reed's 'Vicious', Tom Petty's 'Don't Come Around Here No More', 'Changes' by Black Sabbath and - most startingly - by Thin Lizzy's 'Jailbreak'. This manifests as a ghostly piano lament grazed by Susanna's lustrous vocal, her chilly, gunmetal-grey beauty suggesting Emmylou Harris in a mile-deep fjord. That Bonnie 'Prince' Billy is also onboard underlines the tremulous loveliness of this project. Listen alone - and weep with pleasure.[...]
