With the release of their emotionally charged 2nd studio album, the 12 track Affirmation Hayes and Jones are embarking on a brave new journey, more intimate than ever and yet with a reach that's universal via it's prevailing themes of love and love lost, despair and the hope and faith that come from learning to channel emotions. Other highlights include the hit worthy title track, "Two Beds & a Coffee Machine," a startling and tragic piano based take on spousal abuse. Also, the Animal Song," and "I Don't Know You Anymore," [Note: This product is an authorized, licensed CD and is manufactured on demand]

Savage Garden's songs are of innocence and urgency. On the Australian pop duo's second album,
Affirmation, love is either a broken thing or a newly exploding one, passion and obsession taking over after a spin on the dance floor. At the same time, when Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones proclaim that they want to "live like animals," they're not planning anything too raw, too Reznorish: they just want that childlike lack of guile. This approach, taken with a total lack of irony and with large doses of appealing melodicism, led to multiplatinum sales for the act's
debut, and there's no reason to think that
Affirmation won't be similarly accepted. Sometimes a bit too goodhearted for its own good--the title track's wide-eyed sentiments might make even
Stuart Smalley smirk--the disc's best moments are hard to dislike when taken on their own terms.
