"Love Will Always Win is a repackaged version of her 1998 album Faith. It contains many of the songs featured on that album, but with some bonuses. It contains pop versions of songs like This Kiss, Let Me Let Go and The Secret Of Life. As well it contains the live version of Piece of My Heart, It Matters To Me and my personal favorite, the title track Love Will Always Win. This is in my opinion her best song shes ever recorded, and I dont understand why it wasnt available on the domestic version. Its a very inspirational song, that will touch your soul and make you believe that a perfect love is possible to acheive. Thank you Faith Hill, for singing about truths, and affecting your fans lives like mine positively with your words and music. This is a must have and worth the extra money for this import."

Faith Repackaged

"Essentially this is a repackaged version of Faith's 1998 album FAITH, with some bonus tracks. It is still worth owning though. The album was retitled LOVE WILL ALWAYS WIN, and was released in Australia. The title track is one of her best ballads, showing her vocal range, and as one reviewer pointed out, a sign of things to come in the future with BREATHE. There is also a revamped version of her 1993 Janis Joplin cover "Piece of My Heart" a much more edgier rock sounding one than her 1993 country version. There is also the movie version of "Let Me Let Go", and the inclusion of "It Matters To Me". As well included are the hits "This Kiss", the original "Let Me Let Go", and "The Secret of Life". As well from the FAITH album included are her cover of Celine Dion's "I Love You", the Sheryl Crow penned "Somebody Stand By Me", her cover of Becca and Billy's "Better Days", and the fun and upbeat "The Hard Way". Overall they made the FAITH album more pop than it already was with this import, but its still worth owning for the hardcore fan."

A good selection

"Although this album never quite reaches the highs of the later 'Breathe', it is still well worthwhile owning. Faith Hill has obviously moved much more towards pop with this album, which is a good thing because now she's producing some of the best pop music around. There's a few real gems on 'Love Will Always Win' which were a sign of what was to come, especially the bouncy 'This Kiss' which still stands out as being one of her best tracks. Other good songs include the sweeping ballad 'Let Me Let Go', of which a country version is also included, and the vastly enjoyable 'Better Days'.To sum up, this is a solid album with some really sparkling tracks on it, although there is the odd one which doesn't really fit. For instance, the pop formula doesn't work on 'Me' and 'Love Will Always Win'. However, to say that there are only two tracks that aren't too good is an achievement in itself. Plus, there's much to enjoy, not least the best cover version of 'Piece Of My Heart' that I've ever heard. Compared to 'Breathe' this may not be as good, but compared to other pop albums it's really great."
