Afterglow [Import Bonus CD] by Sarah McLachlan

Pros: The Bandlink Extra which gives you access to some neat stuff.
Cons: Many, MANY weak tracks. Far too many for Sarah.

Preamble Let us acknowledge the greatness that is Sarah. A moment of silence please. chirp chirp chirp The Scoop After years of silence - 6 years in terms of a new studio album and only a few years in terms of any new music - ...

Pros: Some more wonderful songs for Sarah McLachlan
Cons: This album is just missing the passion of previous work.

Sarah McLachlan, a woman who has defined the terms serenity, passion and eloquence with her body of work, returns with studio album Afterglow. Afterglow is a decent album with it’s lilting gentle feel but for those who were waiting for a fix there ...

Pros: There are only ten songs, and the cover is pretty.
Cons: Can't do it in fifteen words.

In my review of Beth Hart's CD L eave The Light On I talked about honesty, and how many artists lack it. I went on to say that many just write down crap disguised as music, and pass it off on us. Sarah McLachlan...

Pros: most of the album is pretty darn good
Cons: the last two tracks

If there were ever an artist who personified predictability - it would be Sarah Mclachlan. The classically-trained Nova-Scotia native has made a career out of the fact that her music is reliable – good, but reliable and while some folks mig ...

Pros: -
Cons: -

Sarah McLachlan’s latest album AfterGlow really isn’t a big surprise. I’m not really referring to her new collection of songs, but rather my expectations in general. McLachlan now joins a long list of female singer songwriters that at ...

Pros: Beautiful music, amazing voice, good lyrics, Themes
Cons: Somewhat depressing fare, Could stand to be longer

There is an art to selling sadness. While anyone may make a work of art that has the potential to uplift, it's a far harder thing to make music that makes one think of the darkest regions of our being and still want to listen. Sarah McLaughlan is one ...

Pros: A very good Sarah McLachlan album
Cons: No real growth in sound; a couple weaker tracks

Call it sentimentality if you want, but I love the music of Sarah McLachlan. I first heard her music in the earlier days of my high school life, and hers was one of the first voices of contemporary music I really seemed to admire. In many ways, she se ...

Pros: Deeply personal and consoling, these are songs you can lean your head on.
Cons: They're also songs you'll probably fall asleep to. At least the first couple times.

There was a time long, long ago, when I, as a 19-year old college radio DJ once proclaimed that Sarah McLachlan was Canada’s answer to Sinead O’Connor – and meant it – before spinning her song “Into the Fire” for my flock of ...

Pros: Strong lyrics, music, and production.
Cons: Some tracks over-produced.

I have never been a diehard Sarah McLachlan fan, though I have enjoyed her various hits over the years. But the Sarah McLachlan package as whole (exotic sexy looks, musical talent and high melodic voice) never compelled me purchase one of her albums, ...

Pros: Still follows the always beautiful Sarah sound
Cons: Other than Fallen, none of the songs stand out. Album missing soul of previous releases.

It’s been six years since Sarah McLachlan has put out a new studio album. Since her multi-platinum Surfacing, two albums have been released – the live Mirrorball and a set of remixes, Sarah McLachlan Remixed - but they was no ...

Pros: Her beautiful voice. Slow, peaceful, calming music.
Cons: A few mistakes in choice of background music.

Two writers here at Epinions summed up Sarah McLachlan's first album in 6 years Afterglow perfectly. Plorentz said, " Afterglow is conducive to sleep." ...

Pros: Sarah is back with at least one great tune you will love.
Cons: A large part of the album is cloned from Sarah's less-popular previous works.

I'll start by saying that I am a really huge fan of Sarah's. I discovered her a few years ago when a girlfriend sent me a mix in college with the "Brothers McMullen" version of 'I Will Remember You.' That was right before "Mirrorball" came out. I was i ...

Pros: Beautiful melodies, strong lyrics, good mix of songs
Cons: A few melancholy songs that I am not a fan of.

Reading the various other opinions expressed on this album, there seems to be two camps of Sarah McLachlan followers - the average listener who enjoys her music and the die-hard MacLachlan fanatics. I fall into the former category - I like her music and ...

Pros: FALLEN
Cons: musically, the album is tied.

I have long been waiting for the next thing from Sarah, and it was a great relief/shock to have afterglow as the end result of this wait. let me very clear. Sarah Mclachlan is my favourite artist, and although I can be biased about the beauty and depth o ...

Pros: Meets my expectations completely.
Cons: Only ten songs.

Okay, so Afterglow isn't as great as previous albums. But it's still a good album. While I agree that the passion isn't as strong as it has been, I disagree that the album has nothing to offer. Having worn out my copy of Mirrorball, I grew ...
