Editorial Review:
Pre-Lilith Fair, McLachlan had critical acclaim and a cult following but was otherwise just another hard-working female singer/songwriter--one who wasn't blasting down doors with overt sexuality or popping along in front of a male Svengali. Similar in their emotional urgency to her more recent work but delightfully less polished, these folk-rock songs are surprising gems. If not for McLachlan's poignant vocals, lyrics like "Your love is better than ice cream" (on "Ice Cream") would sound childishly absurd (especially alongside deeper material like "Hold On"), but here they're given just as much respect as the weightier issues she explores. A great album to accompany your moments of introspection. --Rebecca Wallwork

I've read some very well thought out and critical comments for other albums on here that speak of the artists talents, shortcomings, etc. This isn't one of those, mine is all about emotion. Listening to this album is almost a rapturous experience for me. This music, the voice, the lyrics...they reach so very deep into me and stir otherwise sleeping feelings of love, desire, fear, loss and the unique pleasure of merciful solitude.
Rating:  - REALLY GREAT CD
This is a really great album. I am not a huge fan of Mclachlan's later work but I must say that if you're a female and you don't own this album you better get it! I listen to every song on here. The lyrics are poignant, moving and easily relatable. It's a must have!!
Rating: - Deserving to be on the tip of everyone's memory.
All of her music displays a humanism and an ability to make tangible our varied and fragile emotions. Such a relief from current nihilistic or jaded takes on life. Check out her new album 'World On Fire'. This woman personifies awareness, sensitivity, and compassion.
Rating: - Sarah McLachlan
Your space becomes a cathedral when this artist begins to play her piano, her guitar. The music lights invisible votive candles, twenty at a time.
If you want to listen to a beautiful record from an angel who's connected to a rocking attitude yet sings her confessional lyrics in an unforgettable style, listen to Sarah McLachlan's lilting voice croon and calm your world.
Listen to it quaver for a moment, drawing you in to the lyric. "I won't fear love." she promises in the ... Read More
Rating: - Fumbling Towards Ecstacy
This is by far her best album. It is a record you can play from beginning to end with no song skipping. Dreamy and passionate.
