Sinead O'Connor: Universal Mother
Sylvie Simmons, MOJO, October 1994
AN ALBUM ABOUT MOTHERS MOTHER as God, mother as Ireland, mother as sex, mother as violence, giver of life, saver of life, withholder of love, the macrocosmic-microcosmic extreme fucker-upper. It's a surprise John Lennon's Mother isn't on there.
