CD Reviews

Just get the single disc
Jeffrey T. Ratliff | Wichita, KS | 02/17/2009

"I'm not going to review the CD since there will be plenty of reviews for that on the single disc version page. This review is strictly in regards to the packaging and bonus DVD on the limited edition 2 disc version.



First, the packaging on this edition is the same as with the "Songs of Mass Destruction" limited edition. A cardboard gatefold sleeve with the discs loose inside.. no protective sleeves, so they are scratched from the moment you remove them.



The DVD: Video quality is poor. Sound is 2.0 Dolby Digital. There is no "Play All" function and each video is a separate title, so the disc returns to the menu after every video. "Walking on Broken Glass" has been redubbed using the album version, not the proper single mix (resulting in lots of black screen at the end while the song finishes). "Pavement Cracks" is the worst made-up video ever, with static shots of Annie singing the song live, overdubbed with the album version which doesn't match, and to top it off, they left the TCR timecode showing thru most of the video so it looks really stupid.



I can't recommend this version at all."
Good BUT Could Be GREAT!

(4 out of 5 stars)

"The reason I didnt give this a perfect score is because the dvd is missing the two new videos..Pattern Of My Life & Shinning Light! They should have included these! If nothing else if they didnt have them ready by the time this went to press they could have released the cd now and the dvd later. and included ALL of her solo videos! The videos are also missing "Lovesong For A Vampire". Also they didnt include a play all feature..it returns to the menu after each video plays..the picture quality on Cold is poor too. Other than the tacky work on the dvd the CD is EXCELLENT! Except the songs are the album versions and not the singles versions. Which isnt bad but if you preferred the single versions you'll be getting the original album versions of these great hits! Wish we would have gotten the three disc set like the UK will be getting but you can download it on Itunes. It includes "Everybody Hurts" REM cover featuring Alica Keys! Also includes "Into The West" so check it out too on Itunes. The package is cute ...I like the booklet. Overall its good but I feel they could have made it a more complete collection for the US fans. Like they are doing in the UK by adding the two new videos and a second cd of rare songs. Annie is and will always be my favorite diva it is a shame of how poorly they promote her in the states."
A Thousand Beautiful Songs
Dogville | Sunny Island | 02/21/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"There may not be a thousand songs in this collection but post-Eurythmics, Lennox has produced 4 albums spanning 15 years with songs that resonates so well with any real music lover. Heartfelt and often introspective, she has come a long way. Collected here are the songs and singles that made it big. From the seminal Why, Walking on Broken Glass, Little Bird to No More "I Love You's" and Wonderful, there's too much to mention. Listen to Why and tell me who the original Diva is. On Songs of Mass Destruction, there's the anthem Sing, a pledge to the AIDS cause featuring a whole host of female artists in pop tody. The videos are nothing short of spectacular except the badly-conjured Pavement Cracks mash-up video. Watch Why, Little Bird and Waiting in Vain and enough is said.



For a true Lennox fan, this collection does not replace the joy of owning each of her 4 albums that offer so much more than you can ever find in music today. My favourite will be "The Saddest Song I've Got" from Bare, "Why" from Diva, "Downtown Lights" from Medusa and "Lost"from Destruction.



For a good summary of Lennox's solo career thus far, The Annie Lennox Collection serves its purpose quite well.



For hardcore fans, go for the British limited edition with a bonus B-sides CD and two extra videos (the two new songs) on the DVD.
