I found
The Bedroom Tapes to be among the finest things she's ever done. "So Many Stars" is my "feeling suffocated but isolated at the same time in New York" song- it's scary how she
gets it. However, I must admit that the last song, "For You, George," is the most tuneless, meandering piece of dreck that should have totally been left off of the album. Ironically it is a song about breaking through her own writer's block.

I do agree that her newest album is not sounding too great... methinks she is trying to jump onto the Rod Stewart bandwagon. Oy... I guess I'll buy it only if I decide to take up "fox trot" lessons.
Still... that shamelessly airbrushed picture of her on the cover is worth a good laugh or two.
