As the title indicates, Annie Lennox's SONGS OF MASS DESTRUCTION was largely inspired by global conditions at the time she was writing and recording the album. However, the songs are not long-winded polemics or political rants, but a collection of thoughtful, effortlessly melodic tunes given warm, richly detailed production and anchored by some of the best vocals of her career. Lennox's singing throughout the album, especially on the powerful "Womankind" and the gospel-infused "Ghosts In My Machine," is both passionate and expertly controlled. SONGS OF MASS DESTRUCTION was also released in a limited-edition set that included song-by-song commentary by Lennox and the video for first single "Dark Road."
Industry Reviews
Lennox's inimitable voice -- all dark-chocolate rasp and throaty power -- remains undiminished... -- Grade: B
3.5 stars out of 5 -- [A]n album that captures the range of her styles, from the rhythmically charged pop of her Eurythmics days to the haunted, longing ballads of her solo career.
