She is a great artist but this one with Eve is not all that good it should be but its not.she disapoints on this songLyrics 4/10 Production 4/10 Overall 4/10

while back in 95 when Mary Hooked up with Meth everything was cool&It didn't come across as Contrived as this attempt does.this track has Re-Mix written all over it at best.Mary&Puffy have the Best Chemistry together of all the People Mary has worked with but you can't go back into a time travel Machine&Re-Create 92-94.Her Vocals don't move me much anymore either.Props for using a Tribe Joint but this Song could&Should have Been Better for 03.it sounds like a 93 outtake that still ahsn't fully thawed out.

This is Van's best album since Astral Weeks and Moondance. The musicians are up there with The Caledonia Soul Orchestra. Check out live performances on YouTube.

I had the unique opportunity to see Van at the Fleadh Festival in New York several years back for two consecutive nights. The songs from The Healing Game were the focus of these shows and, hearing them for the first time at those concerts, they literally blew me away. This album is on par with the sprirituality of Avalon Sunset and Enlightment, but with greater edge. As far as Van's studio albums go, these three are the best! I recommend this album highly.

Who is the Rasputin-like character in Van's camp who has himutterly convinced that Brian Kennedy's voice is akin that of thebacking vocal ladies on Live in Belfast?

Van runs the musical gamut from A to Z (also, his output can run the gamut from A+ to F). The 90s for him have been like the 80s for Joni Mitchell--creatively uneven but still always worth a try. Morrison comes out ahead in this comparison by virtue of his eye-popping prolificness - with him, more sticks to the wall because he throws so much of it.The Healing Game is a pivotal album in this cycle--it's tight, concise, with a crisp, understated sound. The songwriting is lean also--less visionary and more intimate. Most importantly, the album works as a whole, something that most of Van's more recent works have failed to do. This one's a keeper.
