Pros: Four outstanding, classic songs... Cons: A whole much of forgettable filler...
There is no doubt in my mind that Sarah McLachlan’s crowing achievement to date has been 1993’s Fumbling Towards Ecstasy. The gorgeous, invigorating, emotional, and relaxing style of her music came as a great shock to me—a girl weaned on hair metal ...
Pros: Voice, Lyrics, Decent music Cons: Liner notes are unhelpful, SHORT!
My title says it all; I've had "Surfacing" in my permanent collection for almost a decade now and I would have sworn that I had reviewed it (there's not something that deletes reviews once one breaks 1,000 is there?) years ago. And yet, when I went to ...
Pros: Please, don't even ask. It's all great. Cons: Okay, so maybe ten tracks is a bit sparse.
To me, Sarah McLachlan had always been one of those mid/late 90's pop songstresses such as Alanis Morissette or Sheryl Crow whose songs and music always seemed to be around on the radio but I, at an age under 12, otherwise knew ...
Pros: Deep lyrics, fabulous voice, beautiful music Cons: a couple of tracks bring the album one star down
First time when I realized how much I am in love with Sarah Mclachlan’s psychedelic voice was one dark winter night here in Russia. Eternity, which is the strongest feeling I have while listening to her songs, overwhelms just like cold winter nights in...
Pros: Beautiful Music, Beautful Lyrics Cons: Too Mellow for Some People
There are a few artists in this world that I wish weren't so popular. Sarah is one of them. She's one of those people I stumbled upon about three years ago and I was proud that I really liked someone that wasn't mainstream. I think it also made my...
Out of all Sarah McLachlan's albums, Surfacing has been my long time favorite.I came across this album after a friend took me to see Sarah as a birthday present. I was not that familiar with her music before then, but I was entralled at her abilities as...
Pros: An album one can listen to all the way through.. Cons: Not long enough, overplayed to the point of anger...
"Surfacing is about me finally growing up and facing ugly things about myself. We all have a dark side; it's bullsh*t to say that we don't. At some point we're going to have to face that." Sarah McLachlan
Pros: Sarah's gorgeous voice, awe-inspiring lyrics Cons: Too short. Too many singles; excessive radio airplay makes it difficult to listen without skipping songs you've heard too often.
Sarah's fourth full-length album (not including Rarities, B-sides, and Other Stuff) is simply stunning. There's no doubt about it: Sarah's done it again.
That said, allow me to present Surfacing's negative aspects before I go...
Pros: Good From Start To Finish Cons: One Curse Word Out Of The Whole Album, Not Really Much Of A Con
Sarah McLachlan is just one of those artists that you just can't seem to get enough of. She's one of the song birds of this century. Her voice is sweet and soft. Her lyrics, and her songs as a whole, provoke thought and touch you. Her songs and voice...
Sarah McLachlan's 1997 release "Surfacing" was the first Sarah McLachlan album I owned, and I am completely in love with every song on the album. They all have their own different style, and the vocal performance from Sarah McLachlan is at a...
Pros: Everything!!! i love this CD! Cons: cons? what cons?
Sarah McLachlan--- how do I love thee? Let me count the ways...one for Solace, Two for Touch.... a million and more for Surfacing!!!!! This is my all-time favorite album EVER. The music makes me feel so wonderful and romantic and happy. Yes, it...
Pros: I love you, Sweet surrender & Last dance Cons: not as good as previous work
It's probably because I bought it in late 1999, as opposed to 1997. I saw it for 7 (canadian) dollars in a video game store that also sold used cds. I thought 'hey..ive been slapped to death with the singles, but ill buy it anyway'.
Pros: Great voice, great songs, extremely thoughtful Cons: A bit morose
This album is superb and I would say even exceeds the expectations of many Sarah McLachlan fans. After several years of waiting, Sarah has finally come out with a new album that has extremely well written songs and quite a few songs that have since...
Pros: catchy pop tunes Cons: not as good as "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy"
I remember the first time I heard Sarah McLachlan at a pharmacy in Pittsburgh, PA. I was walking down the aisle and they were playing "Possession" over the store's music system. I was instantly won over by the haunting lyrics and lush music....
Pros: wonderful lyrics, deep emotion Cons: could do without a song or two
I received this CD after wanting it for a good year or so. My boyfriend gave me the CD as part of my Valentine's Day gift. Let me tell you how nice it is!!! I love pretty much everything about the CD. Sarah is much more soul-full than most other...
