The Annie Lennox Collection

Consumer Reviews

I was genuinely looking forward to seeing somethnig seriously particular on the DVD, but the videos for "A Thousand Amazing Factors" and "Pavement Cracks" are a total letdown. "ATBT" is dubbed from the "Bare" album and contains no reside recording. "Computer" is even worse cos the audio naturally comes from the album and is playing via while Annie is just standing there moving her hand slightly, to the beat, and not singing much, but appearing to be performing a lot of "oooooooh" as you can tell, by the facial expressions she's making. "Little Bird" is a fun video and it is good to finally have it on DVD. Cannot fully grasp why it never ever appeared on Annie's "Totally Diva" video collection DVD.
There are a lot of excellent videos and the DVD showcases Annie's flawless potential to modify her looks style from one particular video to the subsequent. I don't appreciate not becoming able to skip from one particular vid to the next. Even on my computer system, the videos can not be skipped till every a single finishes, and then you can select which one you want to see, from the menu. Seems the DVD wasn't absolutely thoughtfully place with each other. This compilation does terminate Annie's BMG contract, and I consider it really is far more a fluke on the record company's side, rather than on Annie herself. Why would such a actually devoted artist lady want to make her fans unhappy? I honestly do not believe the poor high quality of the DVD is Annie's fault one bit, that is for confident.
As for the packaging itself, the discs are going to be subject to a lot of wear tear mainly because they are so tightly packed into the front and back covers of the package, they will get scratched and worn rather rapid. I took my discs out of their tight confinement and placed them in a suitable double sleeve which fits each discs. This, I placed inside the digipack.
The booklet (attached to the correct panel of the item, contains neat pics and all the lyrics Annie's sentiments on each song. I like this, cos I didn't know the lyrics to all the songs from "Medusa". There is a good two-page collage featuring Annie in her video clips, as properly as a few other people. The final two pages are funny given that it is Annie in her "Little Bird" DVD, eyes open wide and her priceless grimace.
The two new tracks are terrific and terminate a fairly great collection of Annie Lennox songs very nicely. Oh, and I wanted to say, in the amazon description of this item, it says there are the videos + more, on the DVD. What else is there supposed to be? Am I missing some thing? I say, get the "CD Only" edition, if you happen to be searching for top quality. The CD only edition is housed in a jewelcase. Otherwise, get this deluxe edition, given that if you do not currently have at least the "Entirely Diva" DVD, at least you'll have most of the material from it, on this DVD now. Each DVDs are fine to have although, if you happen to be a true Annie collector.

I am not going to assessment the CD considering that there will be a lot of reviews for that on the single disc version page. This evaluation is strictly in regards to the packaging and bonus DVD on the limited edition 2 disc version.
Very first, the packaging on this edition is the same as with the "Songs of Mass Destruction" restricted edition. A cardboard gatefold sleeve with the discs loose inside.. no protective sleeves, so they are scratched from the moment you take away them.
The DVD: Video quality is poor. Sound is 2. Dolby Digital. There is no "Play All" function and every video is a separate title, so the disc returns to the menu soon after every video. "Walking on Broken Glass" has been redubbed employing the album version, not the appropriate single mix (resulting in lots of black screen at the finish while the song finishes). "Pavement Cracks" is the worst produced-up video ever, with static shots of Annie singing the song reside, overdubbed with the album version which doesn't match, and to leading it off, they left the TCR timecode showing thru most of the video so it looks certainly stupid.
I can't advocate this version at all.
