I didn't mean to post on this dug-up old thread.

Anyways, onto the album itself. My dad has it on CD (one of my parents' first ones) and it was my first encounter with the Mac. I had seen it may times when going into my CD cabinet, thought the title and the pics were cool, but never bothered to listen to it. Later on, when I had actually discovered the Mac, I decied to give it a listen, but really wasn't too fond of it, but that's since changed as I became a bigger fan over time.
As for the album itself, I absolutey love Chrisine's tunes, and I consider it the best of her Mac material (sorry, dunno her solo work and i don't really know know her pre-BN stuff that wel). Lindsey's songs, as good as he looked that era (along with the rest of the band), I could more or less take or leave, and I do have a strong preference for his acoustic version of Big Love over the original, but I must admit that title song does have some sweet guitar-playing. Stevie, however, please excuse what I'm gonna say, sucked on this album. Even thought she did sing Seven Wonders (and the music vid for it was really good), I really don't consider it to be one of her songs cause she didn't write it, but as for the songs she wrote on it are just painful for me to listen to. When I heard Tusk in it's entirety recently, i couldn't help but think "The woman responsible for such fantastic songs on here made those TITN atrocities?"
Overall, it is still a very good, though very 80's, album.
