   Summary: Dido Safe Trip Home is a safe bet for dido fans
This disc features several good songs including "don't believe in love "quiet times" and never want to say it's love, and us two little gods. Mellow music and easy to listen to.Classic Dido with her sexy voice and nice orchestral instrumentals.With the chanting choruses that remain consistent throughout each song. Well put together groupings of songs. The melodies are fantastic and familiar to other works in past. Generally speaking, I liked Burin' Love and Northern Skies also. The whole album is very enjoyable basically. I found it to be a good value for the price.

   Summary: Dido does it again.
After Life For Rent I thought it couldn't be done. But this is a superb CD in Dido style. Love it!

   Summary: Good not Great
For Dido fans, this album will not be a disappointment. The album remains in character with her other music, but almost too much so. There is consistent good music, but somewhat ho-hum if you expected anything new and fresh. Its worth the cash, but not likely to create rave reviews.

   Summary: Heartbreak & Poetry.
Dido's third album "Safe Trip Home" is filled with subtle, nuanced arrangements and thoughtful lyrical explorations about love itself and relationships and opportunities missed and settling down.

It's a restless, searching album, and unfortunately, rather repetitive. Yes, this is Dido's weakness in general. She struggles on each release with creating a varied, invigorating listening experience. "Safe Trip Home" is probably her most sedating, coma-inducing recording to date. Barely getting above a trot with songs like "Quiet Times", "Grafton Street" and Us 2 Little Gods". The rest varies between a lilt and a death crawl.

The overly long nine minute dehydrating "Northern Skies" meanders along like Moses's trek through the desert. This is not to say that the album doesn't work as a whole--it does. The entire experience fits nicely together, but it's not quite memorable. Some might say this is a mature, brooding, seductive piece of art work, but to me, who listens to all kinds of music all the time, "Safe Trip Home" is a snoozer.

My favorite tracks (and I can always find favorite tracks on each Dido album) are: "Quiet Times", "Grafton Street", "Never Want To Say It's Love", "Look No Further", "Us 2 Little Gods" and maybe "Let's Do The Things We Normally Do".

Next time (and hopefull not another four years from now), I'd like to see Dido experiment with her sound. I'm not saying make a dance album necessarily, but something that incorporates more rhythms and more instruments. I'm getting the feeling Dido doesn't have much range, and I'm afraid she's going to turn into Enya or Loreena McKennitt, churning out the same old same old every four or five years.

Here's my Dido comparison chart for "Safe Trip Home":

1999 No Angel: Three Stars
2003 Life For Rent: Four Stars
2008 Safe Trip Home: Three Stars
