Robertv.Oct 6, 2007So glad she's back. Musically the best album of 2007. Love her voice, lyrics and music, it's balanced out so well.

DenisB.Oct 14, 2007I have been listening to this album, for about ten days in a row ( while driving ), and I truly enjoy it. Better than ' BARE ', and if you like Lennox' style, you will be taken by this wonderful effort. Very, very good album. On my top ten list of this year.

JyotirmayaDOct 23, 2007I love this album... Some of the melodies, themes and beats I have heard on "Diva" and "Bare", but she makes them ever-fresh on "Songs..." It is so fun to hear Madonna doing backing vocals on "Sing" too! A great achievement for Annie, and she should be winning some awards for this one.

iieeeOct 5, 2007This album is as strong as previous efforts if not stronger. Annie Lennox has such a strong vocal range, it's exciting to listen to all of the notes she can hit! Stand out tracks Dark Road (single) Love Is Blind, Through The Glass Darkly, Coloured Bedspread. The only song I really don't like is Sing, it sounds horribly dated!? Other then that song it's 4 stars!

LukeS.Oct 6, 2007Loved Diva, hated Medusa and Bare, loving again Songs Of Mass Destruction.

ScottS.Oct 9, 2007Annie nails it again. She has never sounded better, and the lyrics often bitter and biting with anger and irony, cut the listener to the core and make us understand that it is always worth the wait when Annie comes to town!

EricP.Oct 17, 2007An album from Annie is always worth the wait, and "Coloured Bedspread" sounds just like the Eurythmics did in the 80s ... love it!

RandolphO.Oct 27, 2007When God wrote down the word soul and the word singer, Annie Lennox name was right next to it. There is no other singer with this much emotional power in their singing and songwriting.

MarkS.Oct 5, 2007Fantastic album. Enjoyable from beginning to end.

EricF.Oct 5, 2007Never anything less than exceptional - and always a new sound to her voice.

GilW.Oct 11, 2007Most of the songs are dark and emotionally depressings. But Lennox's tremendous vocal delivery manages to bring beauty to the pain. I love this album in it's entirety.

Feb 1, 2017Bought this when released. listened approximately a hundred times. Listened to every song, and each time I find/feel a new layer of this pearl onion. I pray and hope she lives a very very long healthy life, writing and recording as long as she wants to. Genius.

Mass Destruction is Lennox's first album largely recorded in the U.S. (Los Angeles and Miami, as opposed to just London), giving the songs a slightly less chilly quality and a bigger, more expansive sound, but it's still a disappointment in the same way the Eurythmics' rock-leaning "Be Yourself Tonight" likely was to fans of "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" and "Touch."
-
It's as gorgeous a collection as "Bare," and pop music should be so lucky as to have more of this kind of thing out in the world.

The only song worth a second listen is 'Smithereens.'
