    Offering her strongest material since her 1982 landmark, Bella Donna, Nicks is radiant as she vamps through guitar-charged rockers that deftly balance her signature poetry with sticky pop hooks.
  2. Wall of Sound

    Nicks' sixth solo album is her strongest since 1983's The Wild Heart.
  3. Sonicnet

    All told, eight producers (including Nicks) were involved in the production of Trouble in Shangri-La, and not everybody is up to the challenge.

    Critics suck. This is a wonderful Stevie Nicks album. If you do not like Stevie Nicks, this will not change your mind. If you love her, this album does not disappoint.… Expand

    Trouble In Shangri-La is one of Stevie Nicks' best solo albums, probably her best since 1980's Bella Donna. Whereas Nicks had great moments on her albums The Wild Heart, Rock A Little and The Other Side Of The Mirror, Trouble In Shangri-La is a very consistently good album. "Planets of the Universe" is a great Nicks-written track (and was a #1 Dance hit on Billboard's charts). "Trouble In Shangri-La" offers a killer chorus, "Sorcerer" is a Sheryl Crow-produced 1970s era song, "Every Day" hit #17 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts, "Bombay Sapphires" offers a moody meditation on relationships and the ocean, and "Fall From Grace" is a sizzling rocker. This album hit #5 and went Gold in the U.S.… Expand
