I've spent countless days listening to Turn It Loose by Ill Ease.  It's been extremely hard for me to actually get into the album because everything is just so repetitive, every song has the same sort of structure to it.  You can honestly predict everything thats going to happen in each song, which makes the album very boring.  While I commend Elizabeth Sharp for playing each instrument on her own, maybe that wasn't the best decision.  There has to be more creativity if she wishes to make a successful album.  Turn It Loose seems to lack a lot in that department.

The vocals seem to suffer quite a bit as well.  They are too soft, and even if they were louder it seems as though it would become annoying after more than one listen. In the end, Turn It Loose isn't that great of an album.  You'll want to be very open to every genre of music to be able to handle and fully comprehend the style of music Ill Ease is going for.  At the end of all things, I gave this album two stars due to it's lack of creativity, and the lack of talent displayed within the album
