Reviews Customer Reviews for Poem      My favorite Delerium cd      Rating:      It has been nearly a decade since a former roommate of mine converted me into a diehard Delerium fan. One of my college roommates lent me his copy of KARMA and that is what got me hooked. After that introduction, I began what would become a steady relationship with the electronica act. Of all the Delerium cds I have heard over the years, POEM is easily my personal favorite. The music has the right balance of pop and ambient music with a dash of classical. I am not a fan of Leigh Nash for most of the time but I definitely enjoyed her contribution to POEM (as well as other Delerium albums). Her distinctive vocals gives "Innocente" a haunting quality to the song. I often get the chills when I listen to the song. Another wondeful song is "Aria" which features the classical vocal group Mediaeval Baebes. The womens' vocals are enchanting as always for this fan of MB. I personally enjoyed Matthew Sweet's vocals on "Daylight". It was different but overtime I have grown to love that song. I do think the song might have sounded better if it was at the beginning or end of the cd. Having it placed in between songs sung by women was a bit disjointing. My personal favorite song on the entire album is "A Poem for Byzantium" sung by Joanna Stevens (formerly of Solar Twins). The hooks, the lyrics, and Joanna's polished vocals was a killer combination. It is a beautiful song that I can never tire of listening to. I should also note Joanna also sings on "Myth", another lovely number. The only song I am truly tired of is "Silence". It was already on KARMA so I don't know why it was added here on POEM. Either way, the song has worn out its welcome with me over the years. Asides from "Silence", the entire album is joy to listen for me even after eight years since its release.     Customer Reviews for Poem Cd      Cool      Rating:      This is Delerium best album.
