Wish I'd listened: this one breaks my heart Sarah McLachlan is on of my favorite female vocalist, right up there with Loreena McKennitt and Aimee Mann. I bought this CD despite the reviews citing its poor audio quality. It really couldn't be that bad could it, I thought. Well it is that bad. It's unlikeable because of the terrible pitchy highs. Sarah deserved much better than this. Stay away from this one.

Fantastic album I have been a Sarah McLachlan fan for many, many years now. Her voice is incredibly soothing and her lyrics are always thought provoking. This album does a fabulous job of bringing together some of her best hits from even her earliest album and placing them alongside her most current releases. It definitely showcases the true Sarah style with a beautiful combination of music that won't disappoint.
Good intro if you are new to Sarah This CD is exactly what you would expect from a greatest hits collection. All of her big songs are there, as well as some other gems and if you are new to Sarah this is a great start. For me she has always been one of those few artists who are much better live than with all that studio polish. For that reason I still have to go with Mirrorball over this collection for the best picture of who she is as an artist.
Closer--The Best of Sarah McLachlan New (to me), interesting artist with more sophisticated lyrics; but, a style akin to Joan Baez.
