I didn't know about this, what happened? Bombay Sapphires isn't actually my favourite track on the album butit's pretty good. The only one I'm really not keen on is That Made Me Stronger.

Well personally I thought it was one of her better albums, beaten perhaps only by Bella Donna. Lots of people saying that The Wild Heart was better, though that is one of my least favourites of her releases. Then again, I'm a fan of TOSOTM so that just says it all....

Yes, if I don't put it #1, I would place it #2 behind Wild Heart. But it could be #1. I guess it depends on what day you ask. TISL took awhile to grow on me though, but grow it did.

If you've got The Soundstage Sessions then you must have heard Fall From Grace, one of the best racks on Trouble in Shangri-La. The only slightly dodgy track is That Made Me Stronger, otherwise it's all good!

lol... Why does everyone think this?!!!! What is wrong with this song?! I love this song, everything about it! I am starting to think I'm the only one on the planet!

But then again, the word "chimpanzee" doesn't bother me either...

I also like TMMS, and I like Everday also.

I like TMMS, too! I don't like Fall From Grace, which everyone else seems to love.

I don't love this one either. But I DO love how much Stevie loves it. It's the only song left that she currently sings where you can see fire in her eyes. It's kinda like the Rhiannon of the 21st century. She's very proud of the song, and seems to perform it any chance she can. And when an artist is that proud of their work, that's a great thing. Especially for Stevie, since she seems to be struggling with musical insecurities the past 20 years.

I agree totally about FFG.

Except don't you mean Rhiannon from the 20th century cause this centuries Rhiannon's are nothing compared to those?

No, Rhiannon is to the 20th Century as Fall From Grace is to the 21st Century

. It's her modern day exorcism song... the one where she gets really worked up and briefly unveils that old fire
