| Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Annie Lennox: Joel Shearer (guitar); Eddie Baytos (accordion); Glen Ballards, Mike Stevens, Randy Kerber, Zac Rae (keyboards); Sean Hurley (bass guitar); Blair Sinta (drums). | | Personnel: Annie Lennox (vocals). | | As the title indicates, Annie Lennox's SONGS OF MASS DESTRUCTION was largely inspired by global conditions at the time she was writing and recording the album. However, the songs are not long-winded polemics or political rants, but a collection of thoughtful, effortlessly melodic tunes given warm, richly detailed production and anchored by some of the best vocals of her career. Lennox's singing throughout the album, especially on the powerful "Womankind" and the gospel-infused "Ghosts In My Machine," is both passionate and expertly controlled. SONGS OF MASS DESTRUCTION was also released in a limited-edition set that included song-by-song commentary by Lennox and the video for first single "Dark Road." |
