Sinead O'Connor, 1996.
This being pretty much the album that challenges "the faithful".
Uncompromising, and full of political/theological/emotional issues set to music - the power of Sinead's music rising from the barest of whispers through to stormy tirades against the system.
And never is there any doubt that she means/lives the lyrics her voice inhabits.
In this album we cover childbirth, the Potato Famine, true love, physical abuse, Babylon System, suicide, the nature of God.
A pretty intense day's work, and rugged if it wasn't all so beautifully performed.
I have mentioned All Apologies (Nirvana) as a highlight track on the album - I also put in a bid for In This Heart and the stunning final number, Thank You For Healing Me (close to the bone for obvious reasons at present!).
Yes, I am a fan, so can't give you an unbiased grade here - it's all marvellous!
10/10.
