Dave Stewart didn't have anything to do with the lyrics on IYD though? Just thought that was worth mentioning if it's your main gripe with the album. I know what you mean, though. I really love IYD but I admit Stevie somehow seemed like a much more mature songwriter in her 20s than she does today, which is something I do find troubling.

For the record, though, I play more than a bit of IYD for friends and it does seem to go down pretty well. I'd probably skip Soldier's Angel and Cheaper than Free, but otherwise... yeah. It seems to connect to people a lot more consistently than WH or TISL do.
