OK... I was just brought to tears (well a guy's equivalent of tears anyway) by Illume 9/11.
The people who don't like it that much - doesn't it really speak to you about 9/11? It does to me - almost unbearably so... It's painfully evocative..

Oooh, Stevie's just entered Miranda! Welcome aboard! Hmm, the chorus has been weirded a bit. Possibly for the better..

Pip, you rule. Next time I'm in London town, I will buy you a pint!

Thank you so much Pip!
I'm listening now... about halfway through. I couldn't resist putting down a few thoughts.
"Illume" is amazing! I love it. Very spooky and moody.
"Say You Will" is GREAT except for those kids at the end... whose corny idea was that?! Yuck. It almost wrecks the song for me.
"Miranda" sounds wonderful. I know a lot of people don't like it, but give it another chance. Stevie's vocals add a lot. I feel like getting up and dancing to this one.
"Red Rover" is brilliant as ever. It sounds just like it did on GOS.
Not really liking "Murrow." It sounds like a hodge-podge of ideas Lindsey has used before. First half is "World Turning," second half is the guitar solo from "Tango in the Night" (the song).

Well, I always loved Murrow... The explosion of voices on the chorus is brilliant.

I liked Illume, and I love the guitar on Thrown Down.

Haven't got to Say You Will yet but I have heard Stevies voice morph into the childrens voices, and I think it works well - it's clever. I'll have another listen in a sec. The song was kinda corny anyway imo.

[SmthngOfADreamr]

On my first listen to Illume I was a little disappointed, but now that I caved and listened again, I'm blown away. It is such an expressive song. I actually love the fact that its monotonal -- it's like a stream of thought or a chant and I think it's a great way to bring out the emotions of 9/11. My only gripe is overused lyric "it's like a river." That is such an overused similie. Everybody has a song with something in it that's like a damn river. Surely something else is 'neverending.'

The 'Say You Will' kids annoy me too. Whose brats are those anyway? Lindsey's? Mick's? Ehhh, I'll get over it.

I liked 'Miranda' before but it's even better now!

[DownOnRodeo]

Well Lindsey has more than done justice with RTTG!

Stevie's vocals are outstanding!

And whoever said it was Sharon/Lori on backup - it's Lindsey silly!


Am I the only one who thinks the repeated verse in Illume/Destiny Rules is there the second time to sort of 'redeem' the concept of New York, or something related to that anyway. I know it's unlike Stevie to just have something really bad or angry - so this would make sense that she'd seek some closure on that part of the album.. Revisit the same imagery she had in that song in a more positive light.

[Gazza]

For those who were worried... Come has not been altered a bit.

[strandinthewind]

I have AOL and I had to go through this link to hear this. AARRGGHH!!!!!

Thanks Gypsy-Rhiannon

[Gazza]

Indeed Running Through The Garden f'n rocks! That's Stevie at her best.

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

....and yet again a smile form on my lips as Steal Your Heart Away starts to play! I love that song... love the harmonies!

I am desperately trying to listen in between getting food for the kids! Will listen again later with my headphones on!!
