I love Wide Sargasso Sea sooooooooo much, I thought I would hate it from the sizzle reel, buts its amazing and has a great beat

I'm absolutely in LOVE with Wide Sargasso Sea, Moonlight, Italian Summer & In Your Dreams.

(Besides Cheaper Than Free & Secret Love which we've had for some weeks now).

& By i'm obsessed with Wide Sargasso Sea & Moonlight... I cannot stop playing them. I mean I love them all just because I love everything that comes out of Stevie's mouth. & I'm suprised A LOT by Annabell Lee. I never really like the demo & I didn't care for her putting it on IYD but now i'm so glad she did.

..... I still haven't pre ordered this yet! I think today is the last day, so I'm def gonna have to take my Dad's credit card tonight and buy it!

LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVEEEEEE.

New Orleans is the biggest surprise for me. LOVE it and was not expecting to. I agree that the lyrics are just great on this album. Other favorites are Ghosts are Gone (I have an almost 4 yo and a 10 month old and they were rocking out, lol) & You May Be the One. I'm really pretty impressed with the whole thing though!

Really agree with this, I just changed my original post actually because I don't think they're weak either, even in the context of an album with this many fantastic songs.

Hmm, probably Italian Summer. there's something so haunting about this song, i can't even explain it. It might not be my favorite track (but, for example, i'm not surprised by Wide Sargasso Sea or Moonlight because i just knew they were going to be epic), but i thought it will be one more painful ballad : i don't like HAEWAFY, the Highwayman, Love is, and even BATB at times, but this...this, my friend, is brilliant.

I can't even believe that Stevie wanted to retire after TISL, saying that she couldn't do anything better...

I agree about Italian Summer. It's in your face and builds. It's strange in a great way and haunting. This whole album is strange though, in a great way that only Stevie can offer.

I'm surprised how much more I like Cheaper than Free in the context of the whole album, it just fits and it's the perfect closer.

Speaking as someone who's loved the Annabel Lee demo for years, this version has me beaming. I absolutely love it. It has all the elements I loved from the demo yet is different enough that I can still enjoy the demo for what it was. But this has definitely jumped up to one of my all time Stevie songs. I'm really out of control right now. I can't wait to have this CD on my ipod so I can play it all the time.

I love moonlight, but New Orleans really blows me away!!! I want her to do it live!

The Catdancer · #24 04-27-2011, 03:33 PM

So far (only heard it once) Moonlight, FWIW, Italian Summer, Soldier's Angel, Annabel Lee, Secret Love, Cheaper than Free, Everybody Loves You, Wide Sargasso Sea, Ghost Are Gone and that pretty much sums up the whole album. I'm going nuts over this cd, it's fantastic

Moonlight definately. Lady From the Mountain is one of my favourite songs of all time, and I was dreading to hear it in a 'Twilight' context. But I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out. To my ears, it's absolutely perfect.
