My Short Review of Bella Donna
 

I just finished listening through (i'm that new! Also finished Wild Heart) and i'd like to list my favorite songs and how I feel about the album I will also post a review of Wild Heart. (Bold Indicates a favorite song)

Bella Donna:

Bella Donna: At first I didn't think i'd like this one, but after a second listen I was like hey I like this because the song picks up.

Kind of Woman: I normally have a hard time getting into slow songs, but I like this one and I think it reminds me of maybe a woman that a man shouldn't be with because she maybe screwed him over. And is a wicked woman. Really like the way she sings the part about "you didn't mean to meet her you cry".

Stop Dragging My Heart Around: Good duet! Really like Tom's part especially.

Think About It: Really like the chorus.

After the Glitter Fades: Not a bad song but not a favorite, a little too country sounding but still good.

Edge of Seventeen The song that started it all I first heard this watching School of Rock a few months ago and my Corporal would bring up if I liked the artists and alot of them I didn't know and he was like Oh please tell me you know who Stevie Nicks is, i was like Yeah sure (Not really!) and I realized that i had liked that song off the album that I used to have, and I was like I have to listen to more that she's done and of course I found out she was in Fleetwood Mac and there it began. (yes I didn't know who the Mac was!)

How Still My Love: Another good slow song.

Leather and Lace: Took a few listens to like this song actually I like the chorus.

Outside the Rain: Not bad, good uptempo song.

The Highwayman: Like the guitar introduction a slow song that I think i needs a few listens through of to like.

Good Album, I was surprised that some of the songs that I actually ended up liking that I did. But a good album although I think i've gotten into The Wild Heart a bit more.

The one inagruable classic in her solo catalouge.

Live versions kick ass - so to speak. :)

:nod:

I don't agree that this is her best album, I think probably the Wild Heart is. But that is just my opinion. Idk i'd have to do a few more listens i think

Bella Donna has aged a lot better than Wild Heart. I love The Wild Heart as well, but the 80's trappings (synthesizer etc) were creeping in. Rock A Little has not aged well at all. But Bella Donna like Rumours is timeless in that neither used the gimmicks from their respective eras.

I haven't completely listened to RAL but i do like the song it took a few listens but it's actually a good song. But she sounds really nasally in this album i don't care for that on some occasions.

Bella Donna is so so magical. "Outside the Rain" is one of my all time favorite Stevie songs.
