I also don't care much for 'So Excited'. I have tried to re-listen to it many times and still haven't changed my mind. I listened my cassette copy the other day and thought about how beautiful 'The Smile I Live For' is. Overall, it's a great album. I've heard others say it's 'boring'. I don't think it's boring, but when I listen to it, something always seems to be missing from it, even though I can't figure out what it is. Anyone else have any ideas??

I know what you mean. I like the album but it's not quite right. I think it might be that to me it sounds like a Christine/Todd Sharp album not a Christine album.

I prefer In the Meantime

This album NEVER gets old for me. I particularly love So Excited. Its just got a happy, tap your foot vibe.
Was in Rite-Aid yesterday, and heard her on the radio there. Something from In the Meantime, and damnit, I couldn't tell you what song, but it was nice to hear something of Chris' solo. Just another of those random wha-wha-whats?????
