Fun from the past
How much fun to sing back through songs we forgot we knew! Mellow and mild, and even though a bit dated, we are still glad to have it back in our collection. My daughter and I had this CD from years ago, and it had gotten scratched, so when a run through our Disk Doctor didn't produce any results, I decided we should replace it.


savage garden affirmation
particularly excellent is the haunting song "You Can Still Be Free", a touching tribute to a friend. its not often that you come across a cd where every single song is brilliant and you would be unhappy about missing even one of them, but this album by these two talented, brilliant men, darren hayes and daniel jones, makes the grade perfectly. ther is also "Gunning Down A Romance" a intense number with a little more edge to it. there is also the gorgeous song "I Don't Know You Anymore" which is just simple, just Darren's voice and a piano, with no over the top vocal gymnastics, but portrays such emotion that you feel strange speaking after its been played for fear of breaking the moment that it creates. the songs are excellent, darren's unique voice is breath-taking, every element of this cd is just spectacular. every song will keep you captivated and make you want to listen to this fantastic cd over and over again. a must have for all music fans!

9 years later, it's still my Favourite
I purchased this CD in 1999, their music is so addictive, their debut album is great, and this one is perfect from begin to end. Savage Garden announced their breakup in 2000, but their music never left my world. Affirmation starts the album passionately and I Don't Know You Anymore concludes the CD emotionally. Of course, these are many gems beset in these tracks, I Knew I loved you, Crash and Burn, The Animal Song, The Love after me, Gunning Down romance, and especially, Two beds and a coffee machine, my favourite in this album.
It's really a great loss that they broke up, they are just so good and maybe the best duo in my generation.

I am very glad I purchased it. The CD Affirmation is as good as the reviews I read. I really did not realize how many good songs were on it.


Savage Garden at their best....and their last
There's not one dud song on it. This is such a great album. The only one that doesn't stand up as strongly as the others is Gunning Down Romance, but all the other tracks could easily have been released as singles. Savage Garden were the best thing to come out of Australia in a while. It's so sad they broke up after only two albums. They could've gone on to do so much more. Unfortunately Darren Hayes's solo efforts never came up to par although I was hoping that he would be the 'continuance' of Savage Garden. The songs are just bland pop, even though he does have a great voice. It would seem he needs Daniel to write a good song. Plus I'm still peeved at Darren for being gay. How dare he mess with our psyches making us think he liked girls! But anyway, I digress. . . Affirmation is pop at its best.
