Album Notes & Community Reviews

The group's ninth studio effort marks a return to the anthemic, guitar-led sound characteristic of her early 1990s peak. The recordings prioritize high-fidelity production and O'Connor's commanding vocal delivery that address themes of faith, recovery, and societal hypocrisy. It conceptually addresses the preservation of personal identity within an increasingly hostile social framework, prioritizing structural variety and emotional depth.
