 Sing My Sisters.................... May 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It seems that Annie has written a lighter album with Songs....when you compare it to Bare. I am a very late Annie lennox fan, but I LOVE THIS GAL!! I really enjoy the new younger girls..Duffy, Coco, Trista Prettyman, BUT I am aging and I can't relate so much with their world experiences so much. I love Annie because I get what she is experiencing. I wish more women writers and singers were as honest as her. I love her writing more than the actual music. I have really enjoyed recently getting all her albums recently and raging with her in the car, in house, and all over. Finally my husband came up to me while I was loudly playing "Sing"...and said..okay not every wants to hear the sisters singing!!!LOL!! Can't wait for her next album!! I am a fan!!!

Considering that Annie Lennox released her first solo album Diva shortly after the Eurythmics disbanded, you would think that she wouldn't take so long with subsequent releases. True, the three-year gap before Medusa came out wasn't a HUGE break, but Bare didn't appear until 2003. Now, Annie comes at us with her fourth album, Songs of Mass Destruction.
Although some of the songs on here are a little dark, they aren't as blatant as what was found on much of Bare (which isn't a bad album, by the way). Such songs include "Through the Glass Darkly", "Lost" and "Dark Road". And Annie's activism also has a presence on here, as evidenced by the feministic tracks "Sing" and "Womankind".
Another good selection is the final track, "Fingernail Moon". Speaking of which, as was the case with most of her post-Eurythmics albums, there are mainly ballads on here, and when she shoots for funky tracks, she hits ("Ghosts in My Machine") and misses ("Love is Blind"). Her vocals go a little off-key from time to time too. Oh, well; while Diva remains her best solo album, Songs of Mass Destruction proves that Annie's talent is still going strong.

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.
