Absolutely, my desert-island album,
By
This review is from: SARAH MASEN (Audio CD)
When this CD came out, I listened to it every day for over a year; it was, and still is, that good. A great blend of music, a fantastic showcase of Sarah's songwriting, singing, and Charlie Peacock's production. It includes a video of All Fall Down, and video clips of Sarah sharing her thoughts about each song, which of course helps the listener to get even more into the music. She even includes a little personal scrapbook of pictures of her growing up with short audio comments on each. The weakest point on the CD is the one song not penned by Sarah, "Love". This CD is a must-have for anyone who appreciates good music, whether a believer like Sarah or not.

One of my Top 5 albums of the last 10 years,
By J Lee Harshbarger (Ypsilanti, MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: SARAH MASEN (Audio CD)
I was in a record shop in Los Angeles one day in 1996 when they put on this album. Immediately I liked it, and bought it. This is my tenth year playing this album (seasonally), and I never, ever get tired of it.
The music consists of an earthy, mellow guitar-based sound, mostly electric with some acoustic. This style of music is the kind of music I like to listen to in the fall, especially October. I play this album to death every October like some people play their favorite Christmas album every December. I love every song on here, but I play "All Fall Down" probably five times or more than any of the other songs. Beyond that, it's hard to nail down other favorites, I like them all so much. I have two other Sarah Masen albums, the two albums she made after this one. The follow-up, Carry Us Through, was a vast disappointment, ruined by overproduction. This untitled album is not overproduced at all, having the perfect amount of production to make it simple yet complete. The album following Carry Us Through, The Dreamlife Of Angels, was better, with the production pulled back to appropriate levels for Sarah Masen's music, but the tunes don't stick with you like the ones on this untitled album does. The song "All Fall Down" is also found on the compilation album "One Point Oh." This album is a gem, perfection in mood, sound, and thoughtful delivery.

Maintaining Personal Identity While In The Process Of Losing Yourself,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: SARAH MASEN (Audio CD)
I purchased this CD on a whim, contemporary Christian music is not something I'm usually into. Having said that I'll admit this self-titled CD 'Sarah Masen' is an enjoyable, upbeat, easy listening -10 track- collection not only performed by this young artist, but 9 of the 10 tracks are also composed by Sarah.
Trying to compare Sarah's voice and style with someone you might be more familiar with, I'll describe her as Alanis Morissette without the anger and angst. This was a tough call, I also hear hints of Sheryl Crow and Sarah McLachlan in her vocals. What I like the most about Sarah is the thoughtfulness and depth she puts into her compositions. Her lyrics are an honest reflection of someone who while pursuing her convictions and beliefs isn't afraid of asking questions and re-evaluating the process along the way. My personal favorite song is -track 3- 'Flames of Truth.'
