Best production on IYD?

For What It's Worth is very Street Angel. There are lyric lines lifted from at least 4 of her past songs which I've counted. The album just seems very purposefully woven into a full circle.

Oh, definitely, I've heard quite a few "borrowed" lyrics throughout the album! (ok, so now that the "Ghosts Are Gone" can we QUIT "tracking them through the fog"???)

Yep, the SONGS kind of are reminiscent of earlier albums, but the PRODUCTION is NOW...THIS is the album I've been waiting for Stevie to make since the painful disappointment of Wild Heart...the inconsistent Rock A Little, the yak-inducing "that album" ("Rooms On Fire" being the exception)...she ALMOST got there with TISL...almost...I was giving that to be her "career masterpiece"...and then IYD comes along and blows 'em all out of the water!! Dave Stewart is a genius...too bad he spent all that time with that hack Annie Lennox when he could've been producing Stevie Nicks albums.

As I just posted in another thread...I think y'all are going to hate me just as much now that I've drank the "chiffon kool-aid" of IYD as you did when I was the grumpy ogre of Stevie-Land! The ol' "be careful what you wish for" thing!
