Truly original and worthwhile.I've only had the CD a few days now, but in those few days I've discovered how truly awesome this album is. Suzanna Vega's voice along with the industrial/machine-driven rock has mesmerized my ears. Songs like "Blood Makes Noise" and "Rock In This Pocket" are amazing pieces of music, and I find myself listening to the CD over and over again. I highly reccomend this CD to anyone looking for something original and amazing. You won't be disappointed.99.9F?°Well, I bought this album in a second hand store on the casette format, but including a bonus track "Private Goea Public". I'm in love with this music and will definitley search for the CD version.
Recently I've been listening to this album every day at least two times. Especially while going to the university, with headphones on and the walkman in my pocket - it leaves an indellible impression - walking the sad melancholic streets in autumn and listening to the melancholic voice of Suzanne Vega.
Each cut here is simply perfect, or at least very likeable. With the first songs you plunge into the world of Suzanne Vega's introspective lyrics and delicate tunes and real emotions hidden in her voice. This is definitely sad music, but still there is a hope. You'll like the folk-tinged songs "Bad Wisdom" and "When Heroes go Down", you'll sing along while listening to "As Girls Go" and "In Liverpool", perhaps you'll shed a tear by "Song of Sand" or "Blood Sings".
Listen to this great album and it will surely grow on you as it grew on me and still makes me want to listen to Suzanne's other outings. I also enjoyed "Songs in Red and Gray" and will hands down enjoy anything else. Suzanne goes experimental and get away with it She made it!!!!, after been all poetic with past albums, and acoustic and calm and relax, this album is a twist at 180 degres , industrial sounds, latin beats , rock fussions, a few folk influences and all this without left her personnal seal, so Suzanne, so Vega, have you noticed how deep bass rythms and suzannes voice seems to be the perfect combination? listen to her posterior albums after this one and you will notice that at least two songs in every album repeat this deligthfull formula, no other woman voice gets along that well with heavy bass sounds like Mss Vegas voice, lyrically as ussual this woman is a poet, even with this new musical horizon she opened that doesnt change and is for the best
