Sinead O'Connor's second album features her cover of 'Nothing Compares 2 U', the Prince song that turned her into a major star, but her own song writing was also arguably at its peak here. 'I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got' is a satisfying compendium of styles - the hip-hop and folk hybrid of 'When I Am Stretched On My Grave', the punky 'Jump In The River' and the haunting acapella of the title track. Best of all are the mournful acoustic tracks: 'The Last Day Of Our Acquaintance' is a searing, lyrical account of a divorce, and 'You Cause As Much Sorrow' is a beautiful and terrifying testament to the power that parents have to hurt their children.
