With ITMT it seemed like the pieces didn't fit in a lot of songs or more to the point, I could tell that they were pieces, seamed together. Of course, for me Bad Journey and Easy Come, Easy Go were the best examples of this.

Ah, it's a matter of taste, I suppose. I remember being dissatisfied with the thick, glossy production of the 1984 album when I first heard it. Christine sinks under the production. My opinion hasn't changed, really. By contrast, the arrangements on ITM are spare and feature her wonderful voice.
