I had the opposite experience. I thought ITM was excellent, far superior to the 1984 record. As a whole it had catchy tunes, Steely Dan moments and bluesy overtones on a number of the songs. Her voice was in top form, too. The acoustic version of "Friend" (admittedly not on the album but on a limited iTunes offer) is incredible.
It's based on that album that I'm very excited about this new one.
