I bought Street Angel!
 
And I don't think it's totally dreadful or anything. :shrug:

She's doing more of a rock & roll thing here than on anything since Bella Donna.

The main issue I have with it is that most of the songs sound like they should've been released in 1990, not 1994. Blue Denim, Listen to the Rain, Love Is Like a River, and Kick It don't sound like anything I was listening to in 1994, at any rate. So, I can see why this album didn't do very well.

I have to say that I prefer the mixes of Destiny, Street Angel, and Rose Garden that appeared on Enchanted. Stripped down is definitely better.

There are some great songs on here, though. I love Greta and Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind. I've always loved Street Angel (the song). Docklands and Jane aren't nearly as bad as everyone here says they are. :laugh: They're actually pretty good songs. I also really like Just Like a Woman. She should do more Dylan covers! :nod:

So, yeah...not a horrible album, but not her best. I still like it better than The Wild Heart. :lol:

Just kidding. :laugh:

Anyway, I agree that those songs sound better on the Enchanted box set, and I agree that some kind of have more of an earlier 90s sound than you would expect. I hadn't thought about it before you said that, but I agree. :nod:

You.Poor.Creature.

Why didn't you tell me you didn't have it? I would have sent you my copy for free. :cool:

Glad you got it. I don't think it's bad either. Well, some songs i don't like, but - it's a nice rockin, pretty little album. My fave is Kick It, and Greta.
Congrats!

Not to hijack this thread, but along the lines of stripped down enchanted versions vs. album versions: does anyone know the story? I remember reading somewhere that stevie-on-klonopin heard the album with the final mixes, then managed to get off klonopin and hated the final mixes, she had them remixed and taken into further production (hence why she gets production credit on the album). Is there truth to this? Are the enchanted versions the original mixes?

Michael

and, of course, congrats on a fine purchase

that story has been widely reported on this board, so imagine that's the case. I don't know all the little details, but someone does. I think you got it about right...

Do yourself a favor and throw it in the trash.

"Jane" has that chimpaneze thing, though. :shrug: I can't recover from that. :sorry:

Ah, I see. It's what one uses when phony ponies come around. Actually, I don't mind the phony ponies as much as some do.
