There were better choices, but I like the double meaning. It's definitely growing on me, and I suspect it'll grow on lots of us too.

In Your Dreams may be many things, but worse than Street Angel? I hear that title and imagine a drunk tramp wearing angel wings made of tinfoil.

I don't like the title - so derivative - but if the song it's named after is a standout, all will be forgiven.

At first I thought it was a little unimaginative, to be 100% honest. I was really looking forward to an interesting album title like "Trouble In Shangri-La." ...THAT is a good album name! I was underwhelmed at first, but now I realize that her album titles are so her, and this one is no exception.

I hear Street Angel and think of exactly what the song says, strange and elusive, going where she goes.

I hear In Your Dreams, and think of a kid on the playground taking the swing from another kid.

Thanks for that! You just ruined the wonderfully romantic sweet & angelic vision of 'Street Angel' that I had! I will always think of that now too

I agree it's not my fave. but I'm trying not to take it so seriously. The music is what is important.
In the beginning I didn't love the title "Trouble in Shangri~La" either, but it grew on me. Street Angel is still my least favorite album title though.

I instantly loved Trouble In Shangri La because it was so different than anything I had ever heard, from any artist, and the namesake song was an orgasm to my ears, so that helped

I'm so sorry.

I just can't take anything seriously when it has the word "Street" in it. To me, Stevie was trying too hard to be modern / down with the kids / urban / whatever with that title... and while she may have wanted/hoped it sounded mystical and romantic... it's just a bit too real for me.

Now, Trouble In Shangri-La... wonderful album title. I can't praise that one enough.

If the album is truly wonderful, then I couldn't care less what the title is.

STREET ANGEL ROX k thanks

i don't think it has anything to do with her being hip and current i mean come on ... stevie current?
stevie does whatever the hell she wants
when i hear SA i think of images like the death eaters in harry potter but not so evil and ...deathly LOL

I like that Stevie keeps her "dreams" theme going
it's kinda naughty ... sure you can see me on facebook, twitter, youtube ... in your dreams

Funny and sad all at the same time! La Nicks DOES NOT TWEET.

I liked Street Angel for a title. In Your Dreams isn't terrible, I don't suppose, just not terribly creative. But it's not as bad as Say You Will, and I'll get used to it.
