I loved most of TISL when it came out. The songs I loved then I still love now. The problem is the stuff I don't like (TFFT, It's Only Love, Love Is, Love Changes.).
I loved IYD when it came out and still do. Love that whole record. I can go without GAG mostly though. I loved and still love 24 Karat Gold. I think that is the best of the three by far and will hold up better than others. |

On the other hand, this is 24k's biggest weakness, too. The individual songs are fantastic for the most part- incredibly strong. But what is the common thread that binds them together into a cohesive effort? The songs and styles are just all over the place, making 24k seem more like a botched mix tape than a fully fleshed out album.

I don't think so. I think the album's theme is stated right in the subtitle "songs from the vault". That's what combines them into an album.

Perhaps this is Stevie's Tusk album. It might take a long span of time and perspective to appreciate its place of significance in the context of her solo career.

I love the album too, but Ghosts Are Gone is a sore spot. The song is good, but the arrangement is just too over-bearing. The heavy, grating guitar riff wrecks it. A more subtle approach would make the song much more appealing.

I too am of the opinion that the subtitle of "Songs From The Vault" excuses the project of any responsibility to have a common thread running throughout...but in actuality, I'd venture to say that the thread actually IS the fact that all these tunes come from different eras...and for me that makes 24KG one of the most original and unique concepts that any artist has released. I mean, I can't think of any other artist who has taken demos from the past 40+ years of their career and rerecorded them as a brand new project. Sure there have been a lot of artists that release their original demos, outtakes and B-sides from past endeavors, but never an entire project of rerecorded demos. |
