There is a thread and debate about this. Catch me on any day and my opinion could change. ITM has overall better mood and songs overall. However 1984 has better gems and far better variety of music. In real time (1984) some of the sound of her solo album caught me by surprise because many songs almost had a country music vibe. How could an English blues singer go American country? But clearly that was Todd Sharpe's influence. Sometimes I like it and other times I wish she would have done the album by herself. But she never wanted to do a solo album in 1984 and was sort of forced. ITM was made completely because of her desire. Each album is terrific and like book ends. They compliment each other and each is different. I feel the magic of the recording of ITM. Its a much more personal dreamy album. 1984 is more straight forward pop/rock.
