    There's a lot of music on this CD. 70 per cent of it is inspired and beautiful Sinead O'Connor music. There are a few less appealing songs on it, but like I say, there's a lot of songs on it. Skip over the one's that don't suit you.

    Sinead has a beautiful voice and is a perfect collaborative artist. However, the absence of "Haunted" with Shane Macgowan and the Popes is absolutely unforgivable . It may be a little strange compared to the rest of the relatively safe offering, but the album still feels incomplete without it.

    I've always been a big fan of Sinead, ever since I first heard her shriek "Mandinka!" and my sister gave me this new cd and it reminded me of all the different people she's sung with over the years. There's a LOT! I think my favorite might be the one with Peter Gabriel, but I like listening to all of the different songs because of all the different flavors. Like icecream!

  1. All in all it's as essential a piece of O'Connor's history as anything in her catalog.

    What's disappointing is how evenly-tempoed and sedate the pace is. [Jun 2005, p.95]
  3. Collaborations is a reasonably diverse batch of songs -- nearly all of them enjoyable, and some of them quite inspired.
