I wouldn't say they're crap because they're much better than some of her other newer material, but they aren't classics by any means. Say You Will is fluff and I can listen to it as fluff, but it's too cliched and bland. She sleepwalks through it. Everybody Finds Out is great and has a phenomenal vocal, but some of the lyrics are cringeworthy. "She gets on a midnioght plane, she's done it a thousand times" is stupefying. Illume has superb lyrics overall but the song itself is too monotone and it goes absolutely nowhere. Y'all know my opinion on Thrown Down, I can't stand it. I'm one of the few who likes Silver Girl just based on the portrait she paints in it.
