I put that I was listening to the album as my facebook status and that a review would follow. Here's the comment I put afterwards:
Her best since Bella Donna - no question. I had heard good things but I'm still surprised by it! There's an almost Dylan like track (For What It's Worth), a top pop tune (In Your Dreams), kick ass Rock (Ghosts Are Gone) and an acoustic track that sounds like it's from a current Buckingham Nicks album (Soldier's Angel - great harmonies from Lindsey!) There's also a kind of funk/blues/Tom Petty type tune (You May Be The One) and a big, lighters-in-the-air ballad towards the end (Italian Summer). Even with all this it still somehow sounds like "Classic" Stevie. Fantastic! I'll do a more detailed breakdown soon, probably once I've lived with each track for a couple of days. I have to say that I'm seriously impressed though! I think that the album is just one big romantic drama! Even Cheaper Than Free is better (though for me still by far the weakest track there) within the conext of the entire album.

An album of (pleasant) surprises...
- Her VOCALS sound much better here than on TISL, which had (great) ups & downs. And far, far better than on SYW. The vocals were my biggest worry about the album, but I'm very pleased. - I'm surprised to hear so little from Sharon & Lori. Not necessarily good or bad in terms of the music, it just makes this album different. Sharon & Lori have been a staple of her solo albums, & it would have been easy for Stevie to use them as a crutch. I applaud her for branching out in this respect. (I do like Sharon & Lori, but I'm sure we'll hear them plenty in concert.) - I'm surprised by how much better the songs are than what we heard in the clips. ELY, for example. I like WSS much more than I thought I would. Same with IS. - Haven't yet decided which of the rockers I like better, IYD or GAG. - Jake

Secret Love - Love it
For What It's Worth - I still have mixed feelings on this song. I keep revisiting it and I'm not feeling it yet. Listened again...still not feeling it. In Your Dreams - VERY Tom Petty sounding but its fantastic. Love it! Wide Sargasso Sea - Love it! So sexy! So very sexy! New Orleans - A little Sleeping Angel like with the piano. Its powerful. Has such an awesome meaning. Its like Marti Gras. Its a positive out of sadness. Moonlight - Favorite Track! Love it! No other words! Annabel Lee - MUCH better than the demo. Love it. Soldiers Angel - Great meaning behind the song. Its a track skip for me. Everybody Loves You - Love it! Great duet! Ghosts Are Gone - Love it! Everybody Love You - Exactly what I thought it would sound like! Love it! You May Be The One - The beat goes on and on...I love it. Its blues, its jazzy, its poodle skirts and high school dancing and I love it. I think everyone needs to sing this song to that man/woman that they thought were the one! Italian Summer - EPIC. Cheaper Than Free - Perfect way to end the CD. I have to thank Dave for this CD...its remarkable.

Still taking it in, but I'll do this anyway...
-For What it's Worth: People keep saying this is country, but I don't hear it. Folky for sure, but not country. Anyway, it's very poignant. And bittersweet - evokes the same feeling as Landslide for me. Love Stevie harmonizing w/ herself. -In Your Dreams: Kind of a rock shuffle thing. Like it a lot - really catchy. Dunno if I'd have necessarily picked it as a single over Secret Love and I don't absolutely adore it, but it's completely enjoyable. -Wide Sargasso Sea: Love her vocal on this. I might quibble over some of the lyrics, but this is one that I've been playing over & over. Epic Stevie rock song. -New Orleans: Like I've said, I was really worried about this one. I did not like the little snippet she did on the Unleashed tour at all, but I ended up liking this song a lot. Great little ode to New Orleans, and not patronizing like I was afraid it would be. Some great vocals on this one, too. -Moonlight: Another one I've played over & over. I loved the RAL demos of Lady from the Mountains, but this is just magical and I'm glad she finally recorded this. -Annabel Lee: Also loved the demo and was glad to hear she'd properly recorded it. It's the catchiest thing on the album to me, and it's another I've been playing repeatedly. -Soldier's Angel: Thought it would be totally smarmy like Desert Angel, and it is somewhat self-indulgent, but not objectionably so...I don't think Stevie is capable of writing a song that isn't mostly about her, and you just have to accept that.  Anyway, I love LB's presence on this. Their harmonizing is awesome as always, and his guitar makes the song.-Everybody Loves You: Okay, I really don't like the euro-pop intro, but the song as a whole is pretty good. It's not an absolute favorite, but it's got a nice melody going. -Ghosts Are Gone: The Zeppelin-esqe guitar is almost too much for me, but it's a great rocker, probably the best one she's done since Love Is Like a River. Really, though, one song like this goes a very long way for me. I definitely could not have handled half a dozen tracks like this one. -You May Be the One: Didn't think much of it based on the title, but this is a great little blues-rock piece. Lyrically, I think is one of her best songs. -Italian Summer: Nice ballad. Another one where I might quibble over some of the lyrics, but it's a really pretty song. Just in general, I'd say the lyrics on this album are some of the best she's ever written.

I agree with others in the fact that this is probably the best album she's done now. Unlike her past albums I completely and fully love each song where on the others there are one or two I'd skip.
Love love love it.
