this cd, Bare, is so good. i've read all of the reviews, on the org and otherwise, and it still did not prepare me for the amazing work on that record! every single track is amazing. really! there is not one dull moment or filler song. ok, girl had so much to say that she even explained the cover art! at times this record makes me so angry and then it just makes me sad but beneath all of that is some kind of light and realization. it is a record of growt and maturation and understanding that we can't have everything we want (the way we want it). Go Annie! lets see a grammy or lifetime achievement or some kind of reward for her putting herself out there like this, when so many others are giving in to the greed machine that is the industry!

This is THE album of 2003 in my opinion. It's unreal.

It's a great album, no doubt. It's one of the ones I'm gonna pull out when I need some strength.

For some reason every time I see a number, I hear in my head,"A thousand beautiful things." It's a sickness.

Did either of you like any of the songs on Peace? "I Saved The World Today" and "Forever" remain 2 of my favorite Annie/Eurythmics songs.

...i hate to see this thread die...sorry, just being honest. and trying to remind peeps of this cd. GO BUY IT!!!

i bought it an i love it. not my fave of the year thus far, but exceptional

brilliant album... but then, Annie has never disappointed. I've been listening to In the Garden alot lately...

"Peace" is one of my absolute favorites. "Peace Is Just a Word" is a top 10 Annie/Eurythmics song for sure, and "17 Again," "Power to the Meek" and "Forever" are not far behind! All the songs are solid.

JonSnow said:

Strangely enough, "In The Garden" is my favorite album she's ever done. Such a strong, overlooked debut.

TRON said:

yeah I agree. so many great tracks - especially Belinda and Revenge and English Summer and All the Young... it's a solid, solid record.

Not my favorite, though... that would probably have to be Savage. Every track on that is killer.

JonSnow said:

"Take Me to Your Heart" is my favorite from "In the Garden"- it's so bleak and icy. "Savage" is actually my least favorite Eurythmics album, although I love it. They have such a solid catalogue that some album has to take last. I don't like "Do You Want to Break Up?" much.

My boyfriend got this cd, but I haven't heard it yet...it's on my list of 20 cds to listen to, though!

uh uh...unacceptable...stop typing on this website devoted to the greedy, crazy midget and start listening to that cd!

would
u
say
its
her
best
album?

imnotsayinthisjust2bnasty said:

for the record, I did listen to it last nite


dude, i'm TOTALLY overwhelmed by music right now, I have to create a schedule so I can get through these cds...

JC said:

not in my opinion. it's great, but it falls short of her best work.

if we're talking solo albums only... then maybe. it's at least on par with Diva, maybe better.

Moonbeam said:

Take Me To Your Heart - another good one. i always thought that should've been the 2nd single, it seems really commercial to me. of course everything would have been very different if In the GArden had actually done well. Something like the Sweet Dreams album - recorded on a very, very, very low budget - probably never would have been created.

endorphin74 said:

well, i'm glad to hear you've finally heard the new ladytron...it was the new ladytron, right?

JonSnow said:

True. I love reading the stories of the creation of the "Sweet Dreams" album and the innovative techniques that D and A employed to make it.

any good Eurythmics/ annie lennox websites?

There are links to every major website on these two.

Ok...I'm even later. Just got this cd today! Sorry Moonbeam. I wanted the CD/DVD edition. That's why I was, uh, late picking it up. yeah that sounds about right.

Anyway:
"Pavement Cracks"
"The Hurting Time"
"Bitter Pill"
"The Saddest Song I've Got"

Those stood out. It hasn't really impressed me much, so far. But this is the first listen. So we'll see. I just felt it was missing some.. 'kick'. I don't know. Just me. :SHRUG: I'm sure I'll end up loving it after a couple more listens.

What about "Oh God (A Prayer)"? That song is unreal.

Moonbeam said:

:CONFUSE: I thought I added that one... :NOD: I played that one 3 times in a row as a matter of fact!! That is a brilliant song!!

i just read that Annie is doing the theme song for Return of the King. Has anyone else heard about this - is it confirmed? it was on ethrill.net

I'm pretty sure the Return of the King song is official.

Moonbeam said:

cool!! what great exposure for Annie! Can't wait to hear what it sounds like - and of course, i cant' wait for the movie itself! she did such a great job on Love song for a Vampire from Dracula... one of my favorite solo Annie tracks.
