Amazon.caSinead O'Connor's second album features her cover of "Nothing Compares 2 U", the Prince song that turned her into a major star, but her own song writing was also arguably at its peak here. I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got is a satisfying compendium of styles--the hip-hop and folk hybrid of "When I Am Stretched On My Grave", the punky "Jump In The River" and the haunting acapella of the title track. Best of all are the mournful acoustic tracks: "The Last Day Of Our Acquaintance" is a searing, lyrical account of a divorce, and "You Cause As Much Sorrow" is a beautiful and terrifying testament to the power that parents have to hurt their children. Backed by former members of Adam's Ants and the Smiths, Sinead O'Connor's voice soars over the album like a frightened angel. --James SwiftProduct DescriptionDo Not Want What I Haven't Got became Sinéad O'Connor's popular breakthrough on the strength of the stunning Prince cover "Nothing Compares 2 U," which topped the pop charts for a month. But even it's remarkable intimacy wasn't adequate preparation for the harrowing confessionals that composed the majority of the album. Sinéad O'Connor ranked among the most distinctive and controversial pop music stars of the alternative era, the first and in many ways, the most influential of the numerous female performers whose music dominated airwaves throughout the last decade of the 20th century. Brash and outspoken - her shaved head, angry visage, and shapeless wardrobe a direct challenge to popular culture's long-prevailing notions of femininity and sexuality - O'Connor irrevocably altered the image of women in rock; railing against long-standing stereotypes simply by asserting herself not as a sex object, but as a serious artist, she kick-started a revolt which led the way for performers ranging from Liz Phair to Courtney Love to Alanis Morissette.
