NeverT.Oct 26, 2007She is an incredible singer-songwriter. This record is a masterpiece.

JohnSep 16, 2007Just 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.

briane.Sep 16, 2007I am a fan of Sinead, and I will say, that it's not a masterpiece like Faith and Courage, but I do love some of the songs. I would go "a la carte" on this one. Keeping it under 6 bucks. Favorite songs for me are, London Sessions: River of Babylon, Something Beautiful, Glory of Jah, If You Had a Vineyard, Pslam 33, Whomsoever Dwells. Keep making music Sinead!

JeffBJul 23, 20071 star for each cd...God himself (ok Herself, Sinead) couldn't care about this effort. Equal parts saccharine and pablum.

mikefJul 20, 2007i think it's a solid effort, a little goofy and kooky at times, but i'd rather see somebody reach a little than just crank out the same old crap. could've maybe given us a discount for two cd's with basically the same tracks on them?

DardoJul 12, 2007This 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.

MD.Jul 3, 2007Sinead has soul and this is one of her best efforts. She is the most underrated songwriter of her generation.

ImanL.Jun 28, 2007The acoustic set is a little sleepy, the electric set not electrifying enough but making fun at O'Connor's belief is kinda asinine and her voice is absolutely beautiful as always. Not quite as good as "Throw Down your Arms" but more than good enough. If Sinead didn't exist we'd have to invent her...

JesseS.Jun 28, 2007This is a challenging, heartfelt masterpiece. It seems to be in critical vogue to write-off Sinead. Big yawner. Rolling Stone: "if you are not Jah, you may lack the stomach " for her tributes. What? THAT review gets a big zero.

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

UncutIt 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!
