For me, I started to like it when I went through a really crazy time, and the lyrics really started to make sense to me. Especially Alice. That song is really epic. So many people dislike the production but I don't have a problem with it, I think it's just fine.
To me, it's one of her better solo albums. I dislike Rock A Little because it just doesn't reverberate for me, and Bella Donna is only average in my eyes. So I guess it's to each his own.

Well my take on TOSOTM is very similar to yours, saintvox. I actually thought it was an improvement over TWH and RAL. I thought the songs were very dark and very reflective of her coming off her cocaine addiction. Certainly "long nets of white cloud my memory" refers to that, as does "Alice" and "Doing the Best that I Can". There's a real black magic vibe to the album that I just really love.
