@mvdu I see what you're getting at, but I think that's a very minor and excusable
flaw that can be overlooked, and one that you have to dig a little for it to be
apparent in the music, and I really don't think it's anywhere remotely near a big
enough factor to completely kill this album enough to bring it down to average. I
think the sound of the music itself, and every other contributing aspect of this
album's greatness comes first before a minor flaw like that does.

Agree to disagree, then. When the ideas are so scattershot, I don't get a sense of melody. Melody is important to me.

The album is alo a bit jazzy for my taste, but that wasn't the main reason I lowered it.

@mvdu To be completely honest with you actually, I'm really not sensing any "scattershot" ideas. None on the surface for sure at least. I mean in terms of musicallity and themes this is pretty consistent. Every song is about love, the album has this jazz flow and piano vibe constantly running through it, I don't really get what you specifically mean by "ideas", because honestly there's not much difference between this and her first two albums, at least nothing easy to spot.

Not much to say when we view the album so differently. We'd just be arguing in circles.

I really don't get any kind of melody or strong song structure from this album. Her first 2 albums had those.

cool album

I don't understand why someone gave the review a neg, though. Review is well written. I know I don't like negs for my reviews, so I only neg now on troll reviews or really ridiculous ones.

@mvdu True, everyone has their own opinions man. And I was just discussing more than I was trying to argue btw. :D

Thanks for being polite, breakingthefragile. That is more than you can say for some others here. It is the kind of album I could give one more listen just to be sure.

@mvdu Don't mention it, everyone see's things differently, but yeah, I personally think this one may be a serious contender for album of the year. I definitely would urge you to give it another shot.
