Product Description
From Amazon.com
Three years after the experimental and not-always-successful Come on Now Social, the Indigo Girls return to a more traditional framework with the acoustic-based Become You. A deft melding of folk, rock, and pop--and laced with Latin and soul around the edges--Become You gets to the heart of what Amy Ray (the rocking half) and Emily Saliers (the gentler half) do best: chronicle the complexities of love and socio-sexual politics from a feminist viewpoint. While the seductive and full-bodied melodies leave plenty of expanse for the duo's gauzy, hand-in-glove harmonies, the majority of the repertoire here carries an undercurrent of dissatisfaction and anxiety, whether about the outcome of a rocky love affair ("Moment of Forgiveness"), the still-extant racism in the South ("Become You"), or the ultimate fate of the Mexican women who fight for change with the Zapatistas ("Nuevas Senoritas"). Poignant, thought provoking, and beautifully crafted, with rapt attention to the interplay of instruments as well as voices, Become You finds Ray and Saliers back in top form and as relevant in 2002 as at the start of their 15-year career. --Alanna Nash

Give it a nod!,

This review is from: Become You (Audio CD)
While I can't say this is my favorite Indigo CD....it isn't a waste of money to buy it. Frankly speaking I don't think you can waste your money buying any of their CD"s.The songs She's Saving Me, Collecting You & Hope Alone are my favorites...Amy's voice is awesome on She's Saving Me. Moment of Forgiveness is recognizable Indigo harmonies also. Buy it ....check it out.....you won't be disappointed!

Another Pearl from the Indigos,

This review is from: Become You (Audio CD)
The Indigo Girls have made another great album. The mood of this album is a bit more quiet than on most of their earlier albums. No rockers this time. But the songs are great as usual.Amy Ray has really grown as a songwriter. Most of her contributions to this album are very strong. "Moment of Forgiveness", "Become You" and "Nuevas Senoritas" are among her greatest songs ever. "Starkville" is also a great song. Amy was the rawer half of the duo; she still is, but her songwriting has really matured with this album. Emily Saliers' songs are top-notch as usual. 3 great ballads this time; "Deconstruction", "Hope Alone" ( in the same vein as "Southlands in the Springtime") and "Our Deliverance". Emily's 3 other songs are fine too, of course. Great production by Peter Collins.

Getting better all the time,

This review is from: Become You (Audio CD)
I am an Indigo Girls fan and own several of the albums. I bought this one as soon as it hit the shelves and was not disappointed. My favorite songs are "Moments of Forgiveness," "Deconstruction," "Become You," and "Yield." I also like "Starkville," partly because I went to college there and I can just imagine the Homecoming Queen and her entourage coming riding into the Holiday Inn or Budget Inn or whatever. I haven't been able to figure out the meaning of "Starkville," but the others are beautiful, poignant, and insightful songs about relationships. "Yield" is about finding the balance between courage and learning to yield. Absolutely beautiful. These women are great songwriters as well as muscians.
