Customer reviews of Chimera

Customer Rating:  
Summary: Warning about the Videos on the Bonus disc
Comment: I have always enjoyed Delerium music and when I saw that this CD came with a Bonus Videos I was stoked. I love being able to have great visuals with great music. So when this CD arrived I went strait to the DVD player and put the Bonus disc in.
Didn't work...
To my surprise I found out that I have to play this on my computer to watch the videos and must be linked to the internet.
I paid an extra 5 dollars to be able to watch something via internet when I can just go strait to Youtube and see the same thing.
This is not a bad rating because of the music, love the music. Just pissed about the viewing format of the videos.

Summary: Curious at the negative press here...
Comment: I bought this CD out of curiosity that there could be such a divergence of opinion about the music of a group I enjoy a lot.
It's true that the songs have the feel of popular music, which I don't listen to. One or two of the songs border on what I will tolerate in sweet sixths and over production. ("Magic" is an example, complete with fairly trite lyrics).
But the outstandingly strong songs her vastly outnumber and outpower the weak. I think "After All" and "Run for It" are a couple of the most interesting songs musically I've heard in 2007. Leigh Nash on "Run for It" is a real discovery, and from my research on her, I don't think she's ever done better.
On the whole, Chimera has some of the most imaginative music on it that I have in my Library, which includes past Delirium CDs that lean much more toward ambient electronic. As far as the genre "pop electronica-Female Vocalist" goes, this is close to the peak.

Summary: One of my favorite albums in my collection
Comment: Chimera is my favorite Deleruim album; I am flabbergasted by the reviews who give it one star. I know everyone has different taste but really, if you hate it this much then maybe you shouldn't be listening to it...
The richness and electrifying variety of songs and melodies here is enough to satisfy my crankiest hunger for good music. After a few listens I was still amazed how every song seemed to sound even better than the last, and this feeling pretty much continued until the end of the disc. For those who like Enigma, Oakenfold, Orbital, Zero 7, Tiesto, Enya and the likes this will be a nice new addition to the new age/electronic/chill out genre. Delerium is hard to pin point; their style is a mélange of soundscapes, ethereal ambient, some dance, pop and electronic.
There are many mystical elements to this album; chants and monks, piano that sounds like a silver rain trickling down, exotic languages, pipes and the whole shebang as swirls of music filter trough the breathy vocals. When listening to Chimera one minute I feel like a monk in a medieval sanctuary and the next minute as if I was on a dance floor with lasers and lights shimmering on me, often all within one song.

Editorial Reviews:
|
The aggregate responsible for inspiring Sarah McLachlan to enter the dance music realm is back with a fresh set of beauties for 2003, including guest appearances by Leigh Nash (Sixpence None The Richer) and they also managed to get Julee Cruise (Twin Peaks, Angelo Badalamenti) to record once more. This special edition of the album comes with a bonus disc of a track that didn't make the regular album and a remix of "After All", along with three enhanced videos of previous hits!
