-Love POTU, but I prefer the extended album version.
-Every Day is boring and bland as hell. Really nothing memorable in it.
-Too Far From Texas can't go far enough away for me to be happy. It's torturous.
-That Made Me Stronger is unlistenable.
-It's Only Love is beautiful.
-Love Changes is very good in spots and very bad in spots.
-I Miss You is pretty. Too repetitive but she sounds great and the music is enjoyable.
-Bombay Sapphires is one of my faves. The new alternate version puts it to shame, though.
-Fall From Grace is great, though a bit too "manufactured" for my tastes.
-Love Is...terrible.
Much of the production is awful and they did something to her voice to make it almost metallic, but a lot of the material is so good that it doesn't matter. Would have liked to have seen Touched By An Angel on there, though.

I agree with you almost 100%
- the only diff. is I like TFFT - I think Stevie makes the songs the way she likes them - in fact she is pretty frank about that, esp. regarding Bombay Saph. - in those VH-1 video interviews she said there were a few productions of it and the one on the record is her fav. and she then said something like "and maybe somebody else might like the other productions - but I liked that one," etc.
All in All - I think TISL was stellar though and was so happy to hear it!!!!!!!
