I'm suprised there isn't more love for If Only - its my favorite on the album.

That has been my new favorite for a while actually!

Me too. I'm growing into the rest of the CD, I'd say my favourites are 'Little Favours', 'If Only', 'Hopeless', 'Saving My Face' and 'Someday Soon'.

I'm really surprised how horribly this album is bombing everywhere.

I'm not. She needs more radio support or something. I'm hoping it can pick up somehow, whether a TV drama appearance or a Grammy nomination or something like that. It really is a good CD!

It's even bombing in the UK, which I find very strange because she certainly has media support here. Tons of airplay and press coverage, but people just aren't buying it.

Honestly, I've only listened to the CD once and it really didn't do anything for me. Doesn't have the same spark her first album had.

I bought her first album and really liked about three songs. The rest of the album just didn't do much for me. Her new single is just so-so. Anyway, I was like a lot of buyer's with the curiosity factor of what a new artist is all about. I didn't care for the entire album enough to pick up the second one. It looks like I might not be alone although I did expect her to have established herself more in the US than sales so far have shown. But then again, James Blunt's new album isn't flying off the shelves in the US either.

"If Only" recalls Hole at their peak.

Just got some of the last tickets for her show 2morrow in Chicago on EBAY. Can't wait - I think her new album is incredibly good (even though the first was great, too!)

This album is the biggest grower I think I've ever seen. When I first listened to it I thought it was ok but not as great as her debut. Now I think it's miles better.

I still love it but it didn't have half as long a shelf life as Eye To The Telescope did. I barely listen to this now but it will remain one of those albums that I can go back and listen to and enjoy so it's not completely dead. Too bad 'Little Favours' didn't get a big push. It was released to Triple A but became her first non-charting single there. It's Top 10 for me now. I still love KT! I guess the sophomore slump was inevitable.

"Glamour Puss" sounds like it could be pretty good!
Both "Hold On" and "Saving My Face" were amazing and seriously underrated! "Hold On" was pretty catchy and danceable and "Saving My Face" had a beautiful melody and great lyrics.
