AllMusic[2]

Mad Flavor is an album by the singer-songwriter Lida Husik.[3] It was released in 1999 through Alias Records.[4]

Critical reception[edit]

The Boston Phoenix wrote that "in the absence of strong songs Mad Flavor is merely a beautiful listen that doesn't leave much of a lasting taste."[5] San Francisco Examiner wrote that while Husik's "voice is as lazily melodic as ever, her reliance on electronica-flavored bells and whistles here is more annoying than groundbreaking."[6]
