The obsession with selling is wrong on several levels. Artistically, as I mentioned, it is going to affect quality and creativity. Commercially, well, it's pretty much moot at this point, since bands make most of their money from touring. Knowing this, she should just forget about trying to be commercial with her songs and, instead, contribute the best songs she can muster -- assuming she can. |

Don't you think that if Stevie starts to piss about it down the line, it will be owing to an unhappy experience recording it or touring behind it?

No, I think Stevie allowed herself to believe all the doom & gloom about the state of the recording industry in 2005, and let it cloud her judgment. Again, even if she were bitter about 'TISL's' sales, the argument was that she doesn't like something only once it doesn't live up to sales expectations. I don't believe that to be true. But I do believe that she views low sales as a validation of her opinion when she already wasn't pleased with an album. |

Before that though, before 2013, I think recording and touring with FM and fighting with Lindsey was always a very trying experience for her. BUT when the album has some success, it helps to mitigate the strife they went through to get it. It seems worth it. When the album has flagging sales, though, then everything bad about recording and touring on it seems to dampen her feelings about the album itself. Michele |

God, I hope Stevie can come up with some songs. I know Lindsey and Christine will knock it out of the park.

As for her not having been pleased with the album already, I think that if the exact same album had great sales, then she would not dislike it, not publicly. People think her tunes on Tango were very weak. We learned that she complained about not being on the album (from Mick) and she talked about the recording experience being a bad one once she showed up at the trailer. I can't imagine she liked TITN when it was made, but it's not an album on her hate list. I think she would hate that album if it hadn't sold. But it sold well and she doesn't complain about it. Other than its sales, I would think Tango has very little to recommend itself to Stevie. Gold records help ease disappointment. Michele |

Perhaps, though, I misunderstood what exactly it was that you were saying. You're not arguing that she only dislikes an album if it doesn't sell -- you're saying she's inclined to dislike certain albums from the very start, and only bites her tongue if they become a hit. Am I understanding that correctly? If that is the case, then it seems like quite an assumption to me. However, I'm certainly making assumptions of my own here as well. We're both looking at the same examples, we're just forming two very different opinions. |

Aside from that, I've heard her say quite a bit about the album. There's not a dearth of comments. She usually talks about not being there and not thinking it fair that she had 2 songs, Chris 4 and Lindsey 6, but she doesn't talk about not liking the songs on the album.

And she's not criticizing IYD yet, so that's good.

She is still promoting. It garnered her the best critical response of her solo career. She is not going to criticize it.
