First time I listened to it and watched the dvd I thought: Beautiful album, but doesn't seem to add something new to her others
After a week I listened to it again, and said: let's listen to it again... and again, and every time I listen I Like it more. Is not a first-listening album but one you can listen to after years (I guess, of course) and like each time more (see Fumbling Towards Ecstasy)
The best songs are from Love Come to the end of the album
(Bring on the wonder).. but the others I think will like more and more with time

BEAUTIFUL! This cd touches the soul...just as many of yours b4!.

I am quite impressed with this album. As always, Sarah never disappoints you.

The music is relaxing, Its a soft one, you enjoy listening to it and can hear it anytime.

Her voice is the greatest part. Its magical, soothing and a treat for the ears.

Last but not the least, the entire album is SWEET, SENSUAL AND SOULFUL

I've always been a fan of Sarah McLachlan's music. Fumbling Towards Ecstasy has been one of my favorite albums for a long time. When I heard about her upcoming new album, I was very excited to hear it. I was given a copy of the album by the One 2One Network to review.

Laws of Illusion didn't disappoint me at all. It's poetic and rhythmic and full of the beautiful melodies we expect from Sarah McLachlan. This is not a one-sided album. The album is full of upbeat pop songs and lovely ballads. My favorite tracks include Forgiveness, Out of Tune and Love Come, but it really is a wonderful album straight through. "Loving You is Easy" is a great, catchy pop song and a perfect choice for the album's first single. I also love that the album comes with a lyric book. I've always been drawn to Sarah McLachlan's lyrics and I really enjoyed following along as I listened.

Whether you have been a fan for years, or if you are new to Sarah McLachlan, you won't be able to deny her gorgeous voice and wonderful songwriting. Give this album a listen, I bet you'll love it like I did!

As per FTC guidelines, I must state that I was given a copy of the CD in exchange for review from "One2One Network". My opinions are my own, and the free cd did not influence my opinions, either positively or negatively .

Dear Sarah, I really love this album¡ I agree with a previous review which says that every time we listen to your voice we fall in love again. No one can deny your words , your message and the purity of your voice comes from within and inspire us. Thanks for sharing your gift with us and go on like this. I couldnt have the opportunity to meet you in Barcelona as the show was cancelled. If you ever return to Spain again, be sure i´ll try to meet you there.

Lots of love

Sarah you have the voice of an angel. I will never forget the first time I ever heard you live. I remember you were performing with the Chieftains. It was an incredibly great night of celebrating friendship, freedom, my youth and my irish heritage! I shared that night with a dear friend. We have since gone our separate ways but will always be connected to that magical night in the open skies with you and the ticket stub that remains in my jewelry chest. You have no idea how your music/lyrics have held me together through the years when everything around me seemed to be coming apart at the seams. Your music evokes a stirring in my soul that is attached to so many events in my life. I love singing with you on my journeys back home to see my family. The passion and thought in your lyrics makes my blood rush like a tsunami in my heart. Thank you for embracing Gods gift and being a beautiful vessel of his handiwork. Take good care and I look forward to another enchanting evening with you @ the lilith fair in wash dc this fall - Your new album is an extension of you - full of life and soul - Sincerely, TH

Once again Sarah touches us with her thoughtful lyrics and siren voice. I personally feel although the tempo is still soothingly sarah, the lyrics are a bit less meloncholy on the majority of the songs. I guess that is due to her being in a really good place in her life with love and motherhood taking the stage for the last few years. I downloaded the album from itunes 6/15/10 cuz I couldn't wait lol but i plan to get the hard copy as well. Sarah, thank you for this long awaited new album! Its a beautiful poetic masterpiece as always. My 13 year old son who loves metal and plays guitar loves it also. His ipod lulls him to sleep everynight with your music. Usually mirrorball and afterglow but he now has this album added to the playlist!

Thank you, because I can write email to you.
I was one of your fans with the title song "ANGEL".

I just ran out and bought it today after finals. Haven't gotten the chance to listen to every song fully, but it's more of a mother daughter thing. I'll wait for her to get home. I love the songs I've heard! Rock on, Sarah.

"Laws of Illusion" on first listening is rich and delicious. I love the warmth in the recordings and the melancholy laced throughout. Yes, I know I am biased as I have been a fan of this gorgeous, talented woman for many years but this deservedly rates 5 stars. Fans both old and new will enjoy this album for both Sarah's seductive voice and thought provoking lyrics. Simply a beautiful piece of music.
P.S. Please, please Sarah don't make us wait another seven years for the next album.
