Amazon.co.uk Review
A major artist in Ireland, David Gray has a loyal but somewhat smaller following throughout the rest of the world. Since his 1994 debut album A Century Ends, he has consistently produced quality, folk-tinged songs that showcase his one major talent--a raw yet melodic voice. White Ladder marks something of a departure from his usual fare, as it sees him embracing a more modern sound, adding interesting beats and electronic sounds to the more traditional acoustic guitar and piano. In trying to widen his appeal, he risks alienating his fan base, but tracks like "This Year's Love" and "My Oh My" should keep everybody happy. --Helen Marquis

A true music phenomenon, Gray's fourth album White Ladder has now been certified nine times platinum in the UK, having clocked up over 2.7 million sales. The album has sold over 6 million worldwide, including 2 million in the US alone. In Ireland White Ladder remains the biggest selling album of all time.

Stop . . !! It what it is, and does not pretend to be something it is not. It is a collection of goood songs, nothing ground breaking. However, it deserves more than the one star ratings that some of the reviews here are giving it.
If you are looking for something earth-shattering, look elsewhere.
If you are looking for an easy to listen album, then download, buy, whatever. Include in your collection.
 Bloody awful dross December 16, 2005

This is everything music shouldnt be: bland, dull, uninspiring, mechanical, bland, uninteresting and incredibly boring. How people like this bloke pick up awards is beyond me, but then again the kind of people who listen to this probably also like Phil Collins and The Verve.Gray by name, grey by nature. How very apt.
 Catchy production, dull songs November 8, 2005

I think people like this for the laid-back, poignant, world-weary but still optimistic sound it gives off. OK in the background, but if you bother to pay attention you'll hear the purring production is creating catchy hooks out of very mediocre material. The songs really want to be played with an acoustic guitar, which would unfortunately reveal them for what they are.
Let's not be forgetting the secret track on White Ladder... August 6, 2005

...the reviewer below has correctly identified and reviewed each and every track on White Ladder with amazing accuracy. However, there's one glaring omission..!!There is a secret track on White Ladder, hidden cleverly for all to find. Play track 1 of White Ladder
Press the rewind button [<<] until -2:00 minutes
Listen to the secret track! The track is called 'Through to Myself' and is probably my favourite track on the album given that it sounds like David's having a lot of fun recording it and it sounds totally raw unlike the polished shine of the majority of the album. Enjoy!!
