Affirmation is the latest Pop CD released by the extremely group Savage Garden and they have once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. Im confident Savage Garden fans, and Pop fans alike will be pleased with this one.

Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

The nice thing about a CD like this is when the talent is this rich even if Pop isnt your favorite style you still cant help but appreciate the greatness of the musicians.

Overall Affirmation is excellent from beginning to end. One of those CDs that after a few listens the songs are just etched into your memory. A must have for the Pop fan. Really spectacular from beginning to end.

While this entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 3 - I Knew I Loved You, track 9 - Two Beds And A Coffee Machine, and track 12 - I Don't Know You Anymore.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Affirmation. What a nice track!
