Favs:
Destiny Rules: though I'm not crazy about re-using the same lyrics from Illume. They dont fit the song.
Illume: so tribal and dark, i love it. Stevie's voice soars.
Say You Will: I like the kids at the end. Very cool!
Goodbye Baby: I'm not sure who's idea it was, but I love the way Stevie sings this song. It's perfect for the arrangement.
Not Make Believe: I have to say this is probably my fav. It doesn't stray too far from the demo and the ending sounds great.
Miranda: Cool song! XRT in Chicago is already playing this cut.
Other faves: Bleed to Love her, Steal Your Heart Away, Whats the World and I rather like Silver Girl as well.
Misses:
Everybody Finds Out: Everybody just found out that this song sucks. Note to Stevie: Michael Campbell: yes. Rick Nowels: no!
And does anybody else hear that the chorus is exactly the same
as Miss Me Blind by Culture Club?!
Running And Smile: Over produced! Where's the chorus for Smile? and too much guitar in Running!
This is 2 "guitar-oriented" albums for Stevie in a row. Let's hear some piano Stevie. Thats where your songs really flourish!
Come, Murrow and Say Goodbye are forgetable.
