    This album is incredibly bad. It's even worse than what you could imagine: Sinéad made something way too boring. She tried to be, I don't know, intimist. But she was wrong There's no emotion here, there's no surprise. Just a bunch of songs that Sinéad wrote when she was cooking. A disaster.

    1 star for each cd...God himself (ok Herself, Sinead) couldn't care about this effort. Equal parts saccharine and pablum.

    Just got back from her San Francisco concert. Left after the first few songs. I love her old stuff, but her performance was uninspired, even tedious. The new material was difficult to hear, much less appreciate. Unfortunately, this woman who once had such potential has compromised her musical conviction.

    If you are not Jah, however, you may lack the stomach for Sinead's megasincere tributes to Curtis Mayfield and Jesus Christ Superstar.

    It smacks of compromise. [Jul 2007, p.109]

    Word-heavy, tune-light songs don't help... Worse, O'Connor's delicate voice can be heard puffing, straining and - horrors - singing flat!
