Some of the most immersive pop of their time. 3.5/5.

Don't pay full price for this, but snap it up if you find it in a bargain bin somewhere.

Pop Rescue
I should admit here, that I’m not particularly a fan of Annie Lennox. I don’t really know why – I just can’t put my finger on it.

Metro Weekly
Although Medusa didn’t receive the universal acclaim that Diva enjoyed, it was still generally well received, and it became a substantial commercial success.

Make room on your shelves for these gems.

Entertainment Weekly
With her prolific use of hair dye, and her flair for transforming fleeting expressions into flashy characters, Lennox has long epitomized the persona-mad chanteuse of the video age.

I Liked Annie Lennox's Cover Album Medusa Better Than Her Original Works!

The Great Albums
Lennox’s second solo outing is a full-blown covers affair.

Cover Me Songs
So has Medusa stood the test of time? Is it now, or was it ever, a Cover Classic? No to each, I’m afraid. But it was worth the effort.

Spokesman
A hypnotic vocal, alluring melodies, and lyrics that seem to seep, unedited and unabashed, straight from the soul combine to create a breathtaking debut and an intriguing addition to the neo-folk/pop canon.
