OSOTM has some good stuff that gives insight into where she was at during that time-- Doing the Best I Can especially, and even Ghosts, which is kind of a mess that needed a good editor to help clean it up, but I love love the bridge where she sings "to fill the empty spaces she's feeling, she depends on her music like a husband, and she knows it's no good, to fall in love again". I found those songs powerfully honest. And Rooms on Fire did well.

I like OSOTM as well... Fire Burning and Ghosts in addition to the previously mentioned Rooms on Fire, etc. I like that no matter what mood I'm in I can put on a Stevie album and I'll feel like she gets me. Or I can sing along or zone out.
