So Sarah McLachlan has a new album coming out (new single inside, too)!

Album = The Laws of Illusion
First Single = Loving You is Easy


So what say you, fellow McLachlan fans? I'm excited about the album (frickin' 7-year wait... and we think U2 are bad). As for the first single, ehhhh.... not so sure at the moment. I prefer her moody, depressing, chew-up-my-soul-and-spit-it-out type of songs. LYiE isn't bad, per se, but I hope it's the exception as opposed to the rule to The Laws of Illusion

Even though Feist is probably my favorite female vocalist at the moment, McLachlan might have the most lovely voice that I've ever heard. I could listen to her regardless of how saccharine her lyrics become.

Oh, cool! I'm looking forward to a new album by her.

 

[bono_man2002]

Don't mind the new single Will be keeping my ears out for the album when it comes out!

 

[U2isthebest]

Can't wait. I Sarah. Her voice is simply one of the most beautiful I've ever heard.

 

[Dalton]

Huh. She's got a new album coming out?

I thought once you walked into Lilith's Vagina, there was no returning?

 

[kingofsorrow]

not digging the new track. of course as her 1st single in 7 years i guess she doesn't want to drown the listener in melancholy. still looking forward to her new stuff though.

 

[ShipOfFools]

I really like this new single, and as a huge fan of hers, I'm really looking forward to the new album.

 

[Bunbury]

cool

 

[LemonMelon]

cool

She's opening for Cannibal Corpse at Metalocalypse 2010, ftr.

 

[Carek1230]

This is good news, I love Sarah!

 

[Saracene]

I like her voice much more than I do her music. But what a voice I'll investigate her new album for sure.

If you thought you knew Sarah McLachlan before... yeah, it's pretty much the same. But who really expected anything so different from Afterglow? Ya kinda know what you're getting with her, but she's one of the few artists where I find that kinda comforting. Can't wait until the inevitable leak (and subsequent CD release, of course (no sarcasm))...

 

[kingofsorrow]

i liked those previews.. i think "forgiveness" may end up being a favorite track.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

Yes all her stuff is pretty much the same, but what a voice. I never get tired of her voice. I like the cover too, amazing dress

Just "like" it on facebook. Or download the torrent... (I'll buy it on the 15th anyway). It's pretty good - about on par with Afterglow, I'd say (which is to say, not nearly as good as FTE, or Solace, but kinda close to Surfacing and better than Touch). Favorite tracks - Awakenings, Forgiveness love and Love Come (Piano version).

Gave it a listen last night, really enjoyed it. No real, I suppose stand outs (I don't remember most of the track names) but it was an enjoyable first listen.

 

[ShipOfFools]

This is a great album, probably my second favorite after Fumbling For Ecstasy.

 

[Catman]

Really? Upon further reflection, I think it just might be my least favorite McLachlan album...
