Reviews
3 1/2 Stars - Very Good - "...a somewhat quiet, haunted work in which the displays of raw musical power are far fewer than the slow, sure, frequently lovely glides of melody and memory in which a happy ending can often be discerned...", "...Whether it's an erotic confessional or a clenched-teeth tale of abuse, Ian's low-key delivery is a rare example of songwriting that's more substance than attitude..." - Rating: B+, 3 Stars - Good - "...there's a subdued panic here on BREAKING SILENCE...while Janis Ian has clearly triumphed over adversity, her songs still sound half in love with their doubt and despair..."
