Since it came out I’ve thought it was too mechanical and heavy handed. There was no warmth to the production. It was glossy but not easy to listen to. The vocals from Stevie were not terrible but were so naked and exposed. They needed more reverb and mixed down a little. It’s like she swallowed the microphone and can hear every nodual and booger in her nose hole. She sounds best with old microphones standing further away. Also, LB let her SIT to record vocals NEVER sit to get your best vocal. Never!
Anyhow. Yes. SYW needed something. Or a few somethings. Too long. Not enough Christine. Too much guitar. Too glossy.
