I bought this CD on the day it was released, and now I can't seem to remove it from my CD player. I am not disappointed at all!!! "Angels Would Fall" is very nice, but there are lots of other great tunes on here, too, including the catchy "Mama I'm Strange" and the absolutely dreamy "Sleep." But my favorite is probably "Scarecrow." What a message there. I hope Melissa releases this one as a single.

I was formerly not a very big fan of Melissa Etheridge. I have always thought that she is very talented but her music never struck a chord with me until I heard this song. The lyrics struck me as so beautiful and personal that I could not help but love it. My favorite line is: "..If they knew you at all, Then one by one the angels would fall..." What a wonderful way of saying how much you love someone!

From the onset," Angels Would Fall", the drums start us on a upward march and does not let us down. Melissa's soulful voice once again does high honors to the lyrics that are truly celestial. Her strong vocal ability is reflected in a way we have not heard before, urgent but draped in soft velvet, allowing the result to be very pure and calming.

If this is any indication of what we can expect from "Breakdown", then we can prepare ourselves for vintage M.E. "Angels" will get all of the radio play, but I also enjoyed the Springsteen-like lyrics of "Into the Dark".

Angels will fall will strike a chord with long time Melissa Etheridge fans as more of what she does best. One listen to this single will leave you wanting more...and on pins and needles until Breakdown is released. Into The Dark will get under your skin and into your soul with its moody lyrics. Beloved displays the passion and fire that we've come to expect from Melissa. Get this single for a great preview of what promises to be Melissa's greatest work yet.
