Say You Will has probably 4 songs I love, but I could do without the rest, which is pretty sad considering it has 18 songs on it. But BTM, song for song, keeps my interest. To go from Christine to Rick and Stevie to Billy with Christine and Stevie to Billy and Christine to Rick, I mean the formula changes from pop to rock to country to whatever In the Back of My Mind is, it all just works for me. Even the songs I don’t like that much are totally tolerable, such as Affairs of the Heart, When the Sun Goes Down, and the Second Time. I don't understand how people don't fall in love with Do You Know, it’s such a beautiful, simple song.

Sorry for the gushing, but I love this album.

I rank it pretty high as far as FM albums. Time loses me. I don't like Time.
