To be honest, I never thought about Tiffany to be a singer of some substance, but after listening to this Gorgeous Album...and I do mean Gorgeous! this is one album that covers all aspects of life, growing up, self discovery, relationships good and bad and picking up the pieces, Forgiveness, bitterness in all aspects of what makes us humans, and what it means to conquer these faults and make our lives better, (but leaving some space for doubt...in her songs) As we know life is really like.

These themes on this album had me questioning my place in this world, something, I did not expect from this former Pop Singer...every song has a very stong message, and the way she delivers them with her singing voice (and great music arrangements) makes every statement so believable and strong.

So many times I have listened to this album, and cannot believe, it has gone under the radar of exceptional music!

The highlights on this album are "If Only" "Betty" "I Will Not Breakdown" ""Open My Eyes" "All The Talking" and "Butterfly"
This album has a very special place next to my Kate Bush, David Sylvian and Alison Moyet Albums, some of my all time favourite Singers.

An album to savour in every listen. Excellent in every way!

Second chances are deserved and Tiffany proved how good she could be with this album, her voice seems to have strengthened over time and she's grown up (happens to us all).
A more confident sound in all of the tracks, she's actually singing about something...tracks like Betty show how Tiffany should be much much bigger than she is, other stand out's are open my eyes, the in your face piss you off. If you like the sound of Alanis (now), Annie Lennox or Amie Miriello then you will like this album...I paid over $40 for it, no regrets.

Wow - This album is really good. I am honestly NOT a fan of Tiffany's music - I never really heard much of it b/c her style of music is not my preference. However, I bought this album based on a friend's recommendation and I am so glad I listened! Her voice is very refreshing and beautiful, and the lyrics to the songs are very frank and relateable. She really sings from the heart. I highly recommend the Color of Silence if you like rock music and are looking for a really good album.

It is too bad that this album never had a chance (apparently there were issues with this record company) to get the airplay it deserved. This is one of the best albums I have heard, on par with Alanis Morissette & Lauren Hill. But one does not need to believe me to find that out. Reviews from a host of critics and Billboard show that this was the album that should have marked a phenomenal comeback for Tiffany. 5 stars!

I have been listening to Tiffany since her Debut album came out. I have to say that this album is by far my favorite from her. I've read a couple of critics compare this album to Alanis' Jagged Little Pill and I do agree. This album is defiantly more edgy than her squeaky clean albums. I wish she would stick to the more rock than pop side. I think it suits her voice so much better. I recommended this album to all the fans that followed her career and those that liked Jagged Little Pill. I was kind of surprise that this album did not take off like it should have. I'm not Sleeping, I will not breakdown, Piss U off, Silence, All the Talking, Good enough for me, and Butterfly hare my favorites on this album.

I've always liked Tiffany. That statement would sound insane to all my friends who know me as a punk rocking, thrashing, axe slinging metalhead. But for some reason I like her. Maybe it is because we share the exact same birthday, maybe I have a thing for redheads, or maybe, just maybe her music touches me in a way no one elses does. Tiffany was cute in the 80's but wow have you seen her lately? When she did her spread in Playboy I nearly died. Beautiful face and an awesome body.

I think it is a shame the Color of Silence was released with no fanfare, hardly any promotion, and was gone from the record shelves almost the same week it hit. Too bad, I think this album was a great effort and should have had some top 10 singles. What I'm trying to say is that this is a very strong album with much artistic merit, but I think poor Tiffany is still chained to the memories of 'I think we're alone now' which most of her listeners. That is a shame too because a woman in her 30's certainly has something different to offer than when she was 16.

My two favorite cuts on this CD are 'Piss U off' and 'Butterfly'. The whole album is great though. SO get the CD, find the first highway you can, blast Tiffany, and lose yourself in memories, thoughts, and feelings. I do.

wow! when i first saw Tiffany on vh1 from México, i thaought she was only plastic and bubble gum tunes... actually i like all kind of music, and of course, i inmediatly fell in love of Tiffany, and i decided to buy this album for only one purpuse: to meet her soul. And now, i can't separate my heart from her music & Voice! I hope that some day she will have the recognitions that she truly deservs since a long, long, long time ago.
My favorite songs are open my eyes, i'm not sleeping, if only, silence and Christenning. Bye then, and buy this awsome jewel!!!!

Tiffany has grown up and so has her music. This work is excellent. I just hope it gets judged on its own and not prejudged based on Tiffany's teeny-bopping past.
The opening song (Open My Eyes) starts off slow (but good) and turns into a nice little rocker. 'I'm Not Sleeping' picks up right at that pace and pushes it further. The next 2 songs are ambitious and good, keeping the pace moving along.
The 4th song (I Will Not Breakdown) is probably my second favorite. Although this is one of the few songs on this project that Tiffany did not co-write, she really seems to be into it. It is a medium-paced, vocal-driven ballad.
The next several songs are an eclectic mix of styles and paces. Tiffany does them well, hitting the moods and ranges where needed. While they might be a bit of an odd mix, they do showcase her talents.
She really hits her stride again with 'Betty', a fantastic soulful ballad. This would be my favorite tune of the bunch. Once again, although Tiffany did not co-write the song, she really gives it everything.
Her next song (Cinnamon) is another odd sort of song. It is a bit out of place, yet totally fitting. It is followed by 'Butterfly', to end the CD.
Perhaps because Tiffany has not come out with many CD's since her teen-age days, this seems like a jumbled (but very solid and enjoyable) bunch of songs. Yet, I think if you really listen to the words and follow the pattern, you will see some themes coming out.
Tiffany appears to be sending a message that she is back and ready to make her name again in the music world. If she continues with works like this, she will be totally back and even better than ever.
