 McLachlan's 1991 "Solace" is a treat Jul 13, 2009
After hearing "Drawn to the Rhythm" on the radio, I ordered "Solace CD
and was very pleased with it. Good lyrics as usual and "Drawn..." is
the first cut and very haunting with an Irish lilt to it. I am glad that
I purchased it as it is a pleasing listening experience. A few are a
little sad, but there is a good mix nonetheless. If you like Sara
McLachlan, then you will enjoy this CD.

 Pretty voice but nothing here whatsoever. Nov 20, 2006
It's a good album to listen to while cleaning your apartment. Save your money. Assuming your time is valuable don't bother listening to it. It would be a complete and total waste of time. Sarah proves again that she has some powerful pipes but so what? At least "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy" has "Possession" and a couple of other songs which have hooks. You get the picture that Sarah was under pressure from the record company and just cranked out some songs with no hit potential and nothing really for the concentrating listener.
Drawn to Solace Nov 20, 2006
My first purchase at Amazon!
When I heard samples of I Will Not Forget You, Shelter, and Lost, I just felt I needed to own this CD. I'm glad I ordered this!
People who enjoyed McLachlan's Surfacing, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, and Afterglow will certainly like this album. Casual listeners may find only Drawn to the Rhythm, Path of Thorns, and I Will Not Forget You interesting for their catchy tune.

I don't think it's better than Afterglow Jun 21, 2006
First off I just want to say that Sarah Mclachlan has been one of my three and only three favorites (at least right now) since I heard her song Full of Grace a few years back. I got all of her albums except Touched. I just have to say that I am a little disappointed with Solace.
The thing about Solace is that when I heard it I kept asking myself: is this Sarah?? THE Sarah??? 'cause it doesn't sound like her at all. I don't mean that her voice is different, I meant the overall style. Solace sounded just too cheerful in comparason to her other albums, or not as mature as I should say. It sounded almost pop. Also the way she sings just sounded too unnature to me. I know there are people who say this album is better than her Afterglow, I couldn't disagree more, Afterglow still sounded like Sarah's style, but not this one.
I love all her albums except, I'm sad to say, this one. If you are a Sarah fan, go get her last three albums, you won't be disappointed I promise, just avoid this one.
 Not appreciated enough May 09, 2006
Out of all Sarah's cds this is the one I think is most often overlooked but it shouldn't be. This is a fine cd and one of my favorites. I'll admit while I owned it, it was a while before I really got into it but it has since become one of my favorites.
This cd is Sarah's second after her debut. It shows her strengths as a masterful songwriter in addition to her uncanny sense of melody. The lyrics are deep and introspective, often dark and filled with imagery. Lighter tracks like "Into the Fire" contrast well with the darker "Mercy" and "Black" and sorrowful tracks like "The Path of Thorns" and "I Will Not Forget You" add to the depth of the cd. "Mercy" in particular, while incredibly depressing, really stands out as it showcases the immense power of her voice.
Many consider her third cd "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy" to be her best but this is still excellent.
