Sinead OConnor

She Who Dwells in the Secret Place of the Most High Shall Abide Under the Shadow of the

Sinéad O'Connor

Vanguard Records, 2003

Sinead's Most Interesting album!
It took me three years to decide to buy this album. I wasn't sure at the beginning because it was a compilation of collaborations, b-sides and unreleased material plus a live album. I've never been into live albums because the songs never sound as good as the original ...

Sean-Nos Nua

Sinead O'Connor

Vanguard Records, 2002

Incredible, not to be missed
On Sean-Nos Nua, meaning "Old-Style New", O'Connor has taken old Irish favorites and put a new twist on them. These songs, done this way, are striking. O'Connor's voice is amazing. She was MADE for these songs. As strange as it may seem, the Jamaican rhythms she ...

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

Sinéad O'Connor

Capitol, 1990

Excellent snapshot of late 80s Irish music
I like all of the songs on this CD. Even Nothing Compares 2 U, which was ruined with repated radio play. (To this day, stations play Nothing Compares 2 U instead of other classic Sinead songs.) I love this album! Every song means something. When I was younger and ...

The Lion and the Cobra

Sinéad O'Connor

Capitol, 1990

Has it been over twenty years already?
During the mid to late eighties I was fortunate enough to have one of my dream jobs when I worked in a record store. For that brief moment in my life I was exposed to so much music and a fair amount of it has stayed with me over the decades since that idyllic period. ...

Universal Mother

Sinéad O'Connor

Capitol, 1994

Universal Genius
Allow me to begin by stating that I own most everything Sinead has recorded to date, the acquisition of which has proven quite a challenge. (Her version of "Sacrifice" for instance, on the Elton John tribute album "Two Rooms," is to my mind one of her finest ...

Throw Down Your Arms

Sinead O'Connor

That's why there's chocolate and vanilla, 2005

IF YOU LIKE REGGAE: YOU'LL LIKE THIS!
It seems that I am in the opposite boat to most of the reviewers here: I am actually not a big fan of Sinead O'Connor. I heard her sing The Foggy Dew with the chieftans and loved it, but was disappointed with Sean Nos Nua because it was filled with computerized pop ...

So Far...The Best of Sinéad O'Connor

Sinéad O'Connor

Capitol, 1997

Breathing Fire When Few Others Dared
Sporting one of the most singularly distinctive voices of the 80's, Sinead O'Connor was a baffling and magnetic presence. She was a stunning young singer who couldn't seem to figure out when to separate her art from her self-destruction. From the explosively personal ...

Veronica Guerin

Harry Gregson-Williams

Hollywood Records, 2003

Great Soundtrack - Great Movie - Great Actress
To echo the other reviewers on this page, Sinead O'Conner's rendition of "One More Day" is more than worth the price of this soundtrack. Pure and simple, it is one of the most eloquently beautiful songs I've ever heard. The all too brief Gaelic version which ends ...

Big Blue Ball

Peter Gabriel, Sinead OConnor, ...

REAL WORLD, 2008

PG comes through again
I really enjoyed this CD. It's amazing how cohesive the disc is, given all the different time periods it was recorded in. A good idea during one session may not sound as good when you're adding to it 3 years later, but this collection contradicts that theory easily. ...

Theology

Sinead O'Connor

Koch Records, 2007

More than Wonderful
Sinead O'Connor's "Theology" is such a treasure. I've played it over and over, given it as gifts, used it for my own meditation and even arranged some of her selections for harp. She sings her reverent settings for (her own versions ) of the Old Testament psalms ...

Faith and Courage

Sinéad O'Connor

Atlantic / Wea, 2000

Best (Most Overlooked) Album of the New Millennium
This record represented an attempt by a new (for her) major label (Atlantic) to "reposition" Sinead O'Connor as the mainstream pop superstar she had long refused to be. The result was that the record sold pretty well but was not a blockbuster. However, the music ...

Married to the Mob

Sinéad O'Connor, Debbie Harry, ...

Warner Bros / Wea, 1990

Mad About The Mob
I have been carring around the cassette of this soundtrack since the late 80's. I have looked through every retail and used record store up and down the west coast for this soundtrack. Thank god for the internet, and thank you Amazon. This has got to be one of the ...

Collaborations

Sinéad O'Connor

Capitol, 2005

Great CD
I was a little nervous buying this CD because I wasn't sure I'd like it (I've never bought a Sinead O'Connor CD before). But this is a terrific collection of interesting songs, good lyrics, and beautiful vocals. Highly recommended.

Gospel Oak

Sinéad O'Connor

Sony, 1997

Her best, her brightest, her most beautiful...
Sinead fans were perplexed when, suffering a six-year hiatus between full original albums, Mizz Banshee released this vicious teaser. It turns out to be, perhaps, one of the greatest *incomplete* artistic canvases ever proffered by a recording "star." Gospel Oak, ...
