Stevie's vocals on Street Angel are very good. As far as writing, there are a couple songs I'd consider subpar, but then that happens with almost every one of her albums, minus Bella Donna. I don't care for Unconditional Love, although the earlier demo versions aren't so bad...but the fnal product is a little too glossy (same with Thousand Days). But...really, other than that I quite like the writing - epecially the old tracks that were left over from Rock A Little.

I do wish Love Is Like A River had a certain something, not sure what it is that's missing exactly, but it never sounds complete. Still, it's a favorite of mine.
