I had some problems with the album's production, but this had to do with Christine's tendency to do too many repetitions in a song. The same problem with the chorus of "Got a Hold on Me." Most of the songs on ITM could be cut down by anywhere from 30-60 seconds. "Anything is Possible," "Forgiveness" and "Givin' it Back" are notable exceptions. And "Calumny" deserves its length.

Anyway, "Forgiveness" is pretty much a perfect song in my book--and so well arranged, I'd forgive the drawn out repetition at the end of the "Friend" (album version--the acoustic version is perfect).

But, I have to agree with SteveMacD: she's better in the context of the group, as are all of the individual members of Mac.
I love Bad Journey. I love the lyrics, I adore the backing vocals and her voice is so cool on it. I don't like the "Bad Journey" chant. uhhhh
