I liked it, but it was disappointing coming after Animal + Cannibal, on which I pretty much enjoyed every song. I loved (and still do) "Wonderland" the most. What surprised me about this album was the lack of catchy sing along choruses.
As for singles, I don't even know what should have been released but I'd probably have gone with "Thinking of You" second and "Last Goodbye" third. Shame the later was just a bonus track. The era seemed so messy, but given what we know now, it's completely understandable.

I loved a good portion of this at the time. I don't nearly listen to it as much because it burned out on me pretty fast. They were sooo many missed opportunities. 'Dirty Love' & 'Thinking of You' are still my faves.

While this album was disappointing to me when it came out, I never burned out on it like I did Animal/Cannibal, and the mix of rock elements with the dance-pop production makes it sound less dated than the straight up electro-pop of the first two. It also feels a lot more nostalgic than I was expecting as well. |
