Stevie Nicks - Street Angel CD

 OPEN UP THE WINDOWS AND LISTEN TO HER REIGN
I LOVE THIS ALBUM WHICH, WHEN RELEASED. SEEMED TO COME OUT OF NO WHERE AND DEFINITELY LACKED ANY KIND OF SERIOUS PROMOTION- IT WAS HERE ONE WEEK AND GONE THE NEXT.I CAN REMEMBER EXACTLY WHERE I WAS WHEN I FIRST HEARD "LISTEN TO THE RAIN" AND I THOUGHT WHAT AN AWESOME ROCK SONG FOR HER. (I WAS LIVING IN THE PALMS AREA OF WEST LA AND HAD BEEN LISTENING TO KLSX ANTICIPATING AND WAITING FOR THE 'THE NEW STEVIE NICKS SINGLE'). IT WAS LOUD, TUFF AND GRITTY AND THE BEST PART WAS THAT IT SOUNDED GREAT LOUD. IN FACT, THE LOUDER THE BETTER AND JUST A PERFECT HARD ROCK SONG FOR STEVIE. MY FAVORITE TRACK IS " ROSE GARDEN"-CLASSIC NICKS POETRY/STORYTELLING WITH, "AND NOW YOU'RE GONE AND I'M ALONE AND I'M SO LONELY/NOTHING SEEMS TO BE THE SAME/ONEDAY I TURNED AROUND AND YOU NO LONGER LOVED ME/IN MY LIFE THERE'S BEEN A BIG CHANGE..." YOU CAN REALLY FEEL HER EMOTION AND SENSE HER LONLINESS - AND HER HEARTACHE...BECOMES OURS. GREAT ALBUM.

 Weak effort by the QUeen of Rock
Stevie Nicks has been my fave artist for almost 3 decades. I am been to 32 Nicks/Mac show, and I feel she is the Queen of Rock and Roll. But on this release, the Queen fell from her throne, temporarily thank the heavens. But just because Stevie is my fave artist, this doesn't mean I cannot admit it when she releases a bad album. This is the only solo effort from Nicks' solo career I never listen to anymore, and I was very dissapointed with it back n 1994, when it was released. I tried to like it. But I drifted away from it and don' re-visit the distorted Klonopin peaked period known as Street Angel. Even Stevie doesn't ike this cd, but her vision was clouded, and the horrific production of Thom Panunzio was alful. Nothing could save it. Except those fellow die hards that, unlike me, won't admit this album was a disasterous album, especially compared against all her other steller releases. I give it two stars, however, for the beautiful, "Destiny," the rockin', "Blue Denim," and the awesome, "Rose Garden." And will scream running from the terrible, "Docklands," which, thankfully, she didn't write. Sinse this album, Nicks rebounded with a Fleetwood Mac Renion, then a CD box set, and capped off her comeback with the amazing top 5 charting solo masterpiece, "Trouble in Shangri la." Of coarse, there willbe those who will disagree with my review. They'll insist that this criticlly panned, low charting(It took 3 and a half years for this to reach Gold status..2002's "Shangri la" went gold in 4 weeks and then platinum 3 months later,has sold 2 million to date) a good album because they can't admit Stevie could make a bad album. Even Nicks herself can admit it. Anyhow, this is the only Stevie Nicks solo album that I don't like.

 A fantastic CD!!!!
I completly agree with the fist review, i dont know why this CD did badly, it has really great songs. Blue denim, Gretta, Docklands,kick it, Street angel (just to name a few) are fantastic. Stevie Nicks should be very proud of this CD, her voice sounds great and the songs are unbelieveable. I would recommed this CD to everyone.

 don't be so self critical, ms. nicks
if you know anything about stevie nicks, you would know that she is very critical of this album, calling it her worst work ever, and never performs any of these songs live, as if they should have never been sang. many other critics tend to agree. i however, do not. there really is not a bad song on this album. it is not my favorite of hers. yet, many of these songs are very catchy, as far as music, lyrics, and of course, the voice. stand-outs include blue denim, greta(a very poetic piece of work), rose garden, maybe love will change your mind (a semi-successful single), great cover of bob dylan's just like a woman, kick it, and one of my personal favorites of all time, unconditional love. this is a song with no real purpose at all, but considering how beautifully it is sang and the highly contagious rhythm, to call it a keeper would be an understatement. this album would not be a reflection of ms. nicks' best work, but it is a great display of traditional pop music at it's best. even those who may criticize this album can not honestly say that there is not a song on here that they cannot resist singing along to.
