4.0 out of 5 stars Sarah Live & Acoustic, November 26, 2004

By

This review is from: Live Acoustic (Audio CD)

I'm a relatively new Sarah fan and i can't seem to get enough of her music. The emotion in Sarah's voice is very rearly experienced in this era and ita good to know that there are genuine artists still out there

This live acoustic cut is made up of 5 tracks, 3 from her smash album "Surfacing" and 2 from the incredible "Afterglow" Some may say that they've heard these tracks one too many times and that its not worth it , but let me tell you, you'd be missing out. True 3 of these tracks have beens heard numeous tmes, but not like this.

The intimicy of these songs is shown more with the absence of numerous instruments and more focus on Sarah's amazing vocals, raw and only complimented by the piano music.... Trust me it is worth the buy for any diehard Sarah fan and newcomers alike.

My only complaint is that she could have included one or two songs from the wonderful "solace" album. A song like " I will not forget you" would have been perfect here... Other than that.. its a great EP

2.0 out of 5 stars Sarah McLachlan's sixth filler album, June 13, 2004

I am one of Sarah McLachlan's biggest non-psycho fans, and I buy everything she puts out. I own 90 Sarah McLachlan CDs. However, I don't love everything she puts out, case in point her "Live Acoustic" EP.

These songs were from the press launch of iTunes for Windows just around the time "Afterglow" was released. No one knew any of the new material yet, so that could be the reason for re-hashing three of the insanely overplayed hits from 1997's "Surfacing"; Adia, Building a Mystery, and ever-popular Angel. There are only two of the new songs, Fallen and the Angel-esque ballad Answer.

Sarah's beautiful voice usually makes up for the fact that she plays the same songs over and over again, here it doesn't. You can hear the 6-year absence in her voice. It's downright rusty in parts. This EP is a polar opposite to the over-produced and too-glossy perfection of the live tracks from "Mirrorball".

I would only reccommend this CD to Sarah fans like myself who want to hear everything; good, bad, and mediocre. This EP definitely falls in the mediocre category. It may be worth it to Canadian fans who can pick this CD up very cheaply at a local music store, but don't pony up the import price unless you REALLY LOVE Sarah McLachlan.
