Songs of Mass Destruction is a sterling, rock-solid, expert example.
-
There's no getting around the overall thematic pall, but Lennox surrounds every message with such beauty that one remains convinced that it's all going to be OK.
-
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 result is an album that captures the range of her styles, from the rhythmically charged pop of her Eurythmics days to the haunted, longing ballads of her solo career. If the two approaches don't always cohere, each is satisfying in its own right.
-
Lennox’s glossy white-soul template does sound a bit dated but she's still impressive when she gets it right.
-
Songs of Mass Destruction is likely to resonate with those who recognize the unique quality of Lennox’s work and there is enough of high artistic value here to allow the album to serve as another guarantee of Lennox’s fine legacy, even if the spectacular musical moments are scattered around a bit more than on previous efforts.
-
The only song worth a second listen is 'Smithereens.'

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!
