Sarah McLachlan has left the sad puppy dogs behind to release her first batch of new music since 2003's "Afterglow." Some fans may gripe about the inclusion of two songs ("U Want Me 2" and "Don't Give Up on Us") from her 2008 greatest hits album, but that's quibbling. McLachlan's break has served her well. "Laws of Illusion" is filled with all the yearning, heartache, and urgency that her legions of fans have come to expect. But the album also feels more muscular than past efforts. Longtime producer Pierre Marchand once again builds multilayered soundscapes for McLachlan's vocals to break in all the right places — because if the heartache ain't broke, don't fix it. And no one does heartache better than Sarah McLachlan.
