Its lost its je ne sais quoi quality that has always defined the queen of rock. Haunting guitar licks by Lindsey and an ethereal sound like Sisters of or Beauty and Beast. Sorry , but there's nothing like Thrown Down, Stand Back or Edge to get the blood flowing. Her latest stuff is almost like she's in a depression vacuum and can't get out.

I do agree with this. It's always been my opinion that her work with him during their prime had a certain magic that was never truly replicated in her other work. Like even somewhat after the peak for the two of them together, I think Gypsy is a better, more classic Stevie song than all of Bella Donna. That's just me.
