CD Reviews

This single is anything but [Stupid]
B. Son | Denver | 06/26/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The second single off of Sarah McLachlan's 2003 release of "Afterglow", "Stupid" proves to be yet another remarkable single.The single itself is a great one, unlike "Fallen" singles only containing just radio edits and other songs.. this single has actual original remixes.The tracks are as follows:
1. Stupid [Radio Edit] 3:25
2. Stupid [Hyper Remix] 7:55
3. World is on Fire [Junkie XL Club Mix] 12:23
4. Stupid [Video]The radio edit version is straight from the album "Afterglow". A stupendous single, describing the situation where you fall in love with the wrong person. "A simpleton could see / that you're no good for me / but you're the only one I see.."The Hyper Remix of "Stupid" is amazing to listen to. It starts off quiet building up with guitar riffs and drums and bass. The chorus offers a great guitar melody. It keeps going to a synthesized part of the song that only adds to the garage-type sounds of this mix. The vocals are limited as only the chorus is used, and no other parts. Still, it is a great mix to listen to.The Junkie XL mix demonstrates why Junkie XL is such a great artist and remixer. From his garage/chill/club style of music as shown in his recent album, "Radio JXL", he turns his talent to "Stupid". Its leads into a hypnotic guitar melody that repeats itself. The vocals in this song is not limited to just the chorus as the Hyper remix, but uses more of the vocals of the original song. This 12-minute song proves itself to be must-listen. It catches the essence of the "World on Fire" and adds almost a dramatic, darker sense to the song. Using an array of synthesized beats and sounds, various guitars and pianos, it wraps the single up very nicely.The video is the story of "Stupid". It goes through 3 different centuries or time periods, so do not let the first minute of the video throw you off. It starts somewhere in the Elizabeth period, then ends in modern day. Another bonus to this great single.This single is something any person interested in mixes of Sarah McLachlan's songs to get, or if you just want to hear a different version of "Stupid" and "World on Fire", then this single is highly recommended."
Number 2 club hit!

"This so far is the biggest hit for Sarah on Billboard's Club Play chart. The cd comes from Australia and the main buying point for it is the inclusion of the massive mix by Junkie XL for "World On Fire". This mix (12:24) is just beautiful from the Cure like guitar work to the thumping aggressive house beats to the lyrics and vocals of Sarah McLachlan everything works. Robert Smith would be proud. The cd is actually for "Stupid" and it comes in the original radio version (3:26) and Hyper remix(7:55) and they are more typical of what Sarah McLachlan does. Stunning stuff. Buy this cd for the remix of "World On Fire" and you won't be sorry. A++++"

"This is one of the great tracks in Sarah's multi-platinum cd Afterglow, after he long depart from the music scene... She returned with Fallen and now delivered another hit.. Stupid is an amazing effort with powerful lyrics and rockish beats... The video is amazing as well... The mixes in this single is awesome as well. If you like Sarah's Sweet Surrender... you will love this song!!!"
