As always, Sarah McLachlan's music is elegant, eloquent and enchanting, but here she is also courageous enough to reveal some of her "dark side". There are multiple layers to the lyrics, and what sounds smooth and dreamy on the surface often contains heavier matters underneath. True artistry. Favorite cuts: "Building A Mystery", "I Love You", "Sweet Surrender", "Adia" – and, of course, "Angel".
