^ i agree.
when i was younger, my favorite artists were michelle branch, vanessa carlton, and avril lavigne.
michelle's kind of broken out of that little group, doing her pop/country thing, and vanessa definitely had, with harmonium..
and though i think some songs are on par with harmonium, others have me worried that she'll be brought back into that little group that avril never left (though her second album was better than her first.. and third). just hearing the name the matrix with vanessa's name makes me nervous and makes me cringe.
