I believe I also mentioned the M word and the J word. Is that also divine? Gail |

The best songs on ITM are Calumny and Friend. Those are my two favourites, along with Anything is Possible. Reminds me of something from the Mac days. Bad Journey is just... a bad song. The rest is kind of "eh". I wrote up an entire review during the summer. It's sitting in a notebook in my drawer. |

ITM is nice and mellow. Period. It never intended to break new ground and is nothing short of a cute little pet project with her nephew. Last edited by Richard B; 11-21-2005 at 05:55 PM.. |

Oh, yeah, I like Sweet Revenge. I was just singing that one last night. Everyone seems to love You Are, and it got some radio play in the UK, but it's not really a favourite of mine. The random high notes kind of... eh. Don't really grab me. Forgiveness is okay. I also like So Sincere... more the lyrics than the song itself. It's a little cryptic. Reminds me of something you know who would've written, with the "Funny little white car with the broken light". I think Northern Star could've been a great song, if it had been arranged properly. If you go back a bit in my LJ, you'll find the post where I talked a bit about each of the songs. It's not a proper review, but it's basically my first impressions of them, since I posted it the day I bought it. |

I can't really get into it but I do think her voice still sounds amazing.

It's not mediocre at all for me. I like most of the songs, even if a couple seem composed on the autopilot. I agree, the production damaged the album. To sound homemade could work for grunge (if it still exists) but not for a sophisticated lady like her, IMO.

In terms of lyrics, I think some of them border on being overly cheesy... But then again, I have to say, most of her songs do. I don't think she'd object to that statement either, as she's said she's a "pretty basic songwriter". And she is. She's never been very prolific, with the exception of songs like Songbird, and Show Me a Smile. I think, though her songs are very simple (a style that I believe comes from her background in jazz), it's her delivery that really makes them what they are. Some songs just have to be sung by the right person. |
