 This is brilliant! May 8, 2008

I have been a die-hard Annie Lennox fan since her early days as one half of the Eurythmics. Since she went solo, I've loved all of her albums and Songs of Mass Destruction is no different.
All of the songs on this album are powerful and emotive and really force me to confront my inner feelings. The song Dark Road is one of the most brilliant songs ever written. Even the uptempo songs have more depth than usual pop ditty we hear on the waves. The dark cloud that hangs over this album is that Annie was dropped by her record label shortly after its release due to poor first week sales. What a shame that we still have to measure the "success" of this album based on its commercial appeal.
Nonetheless, I want to congratulate Annie on a powerful album that resonates with me on every level. Some reviewers have complained that the wait between her albums is too long. Can anyone on here honestly say that the wait hasn't been worth it? She "cooks" each of her albums to perfection and I'll wait for her next release (on a different label) for as long as it takes.
Thanx Annie May 3, 2008

One of her best Albums, hey what can I say, bought it the day it came out and almost 8 months later it's an album that I still listen to on a weekly basis. I'll get many years of enjoyment out of this album. Creative! Thanx Annie.

The DIVA Stikes Again! April 5, 2008

I personally believe Annie Lennox can do no wrong. With that said, it does make me sad that the wait between projects from her is so long.
But this album is well worth the wait. Being able to preorder on this site is a blessing. And this album is an amazing work of art. From the power of "Dark Road" to the desperate longing of "Fingernail Moon", there is not a bad track in the mix.
Her new signature song "Sing" (which was influenced by the pleas of Nelson Mandela to be aware of the AIDS pandemic) brought together over twenty of the top female recording artists. Singing about solidarity and that no matter who tries to bring you down, you can win.
It's truly Annie's world, and we just live in it!
