Lovely and soothing, but more of the same...

Listening to this CD reminded me of hanging out with friends when I was in high school in the 90's. I was looking forward to hearing something new, but this new CD while lovely and soothing, brought me back to the days of flannels, ripped jeans, and baby doll dresses. The one stunning exception was Bring on the Wonder which really showed off Sarah's silvery voice over the barest breath of a piano.
What's great about it: Silvery soothing voice...
What's not so great: Too reminiscent of her other music.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Interesting, but forgettable

I had the opportunity to review this album, and I heard elements of Tears for Fears, a band I have loved since I was a child. Other than that, however, I didn't find a whole lot about this album that stuck out to me, or made me want to listen over and over again. It was kind of an electro-folk with some jangly off-kilter instrumentation. It was chill-out music which I normally love, but try as I might, I just couldn't get into this album.
What's great about it: Reminded me of Tears for Fears
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Beautiful Music to Unfrazzle Your Brain

I put this album on when I need to unwind and grease up my gears. This album is incredibly mellow, and very beautiful. I loved his take on Mona Lisa since I grew up listening to Nat King Cole, and Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me) was incredibly touching as well. I highly, highly recommend this album to anyone who needs a little wind down from a stressful day. My friend has this album too and her toddler daughter constantly asks for the "pretty music" and I certainly couldn't have put it better myself.
What's great about it: Beautiful music, wakes up your nostalgia
What's not so great: Only good in short doses
I would recommend this to a friend!

Truly excellent stuff

I had actually not heard any of Yanni's music before this album. For a first time listener, I have to say, I am pleasantly surprised! This is such a great album to relax to at night and to concentrate at work to! You can tell what chemistry the artists have with Yanni as far as the mesh of the music and lyrics. Definitely worth a listen!
What's great about it: DVD Concert that comes with it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Meh at best

I really had high hopes for this album after liking the first one so much. This album really left a lot to be desired unfortunately and I was disappointed. It featured the same songs that everyone else has done over and over again (Hallelujah, Amazing Grace) except that their version wasn't anything memorable or remarkable. "She" was my least favorite song. I hadn't heard the Charles Aznavour version, only the Elvis Costello version which I found to be beautiful, unique, and captivating. This version was very void of emotion to me as was Amazing Grace. I was just lukewarm about this album. Maybe my grandma would like it, but it's not for me.
What's great about it: They have great voices
What's not so great: Poor choice of songs and poor production
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
