Quote from: "devil in the dark"
The One is ruined.

I have only listened to the songs we have heard before. I'm waiting for the other ones.

I don't like what they did with "Fools Like Me." The whole album is a lot more pop than I expected. I guess I am just so used to hearing it just V and the piano. I'm not used to this up tempo.


I wouldn't brand it, "pop" as such. I think it's more alternative - very reminicent of what John Mayer did with Continuum. I completely agree with the One being ruined. Stevie's vocals were a huge let down and it would have sounded a million times better without her.

What does everybody think of "More Than This"? I can't get over how great it is. I can see her playing this on stage by herself and then by the end of it there's this huge choir singing with Vanessa.

Definetley one of my favourites from the new album.

More than This, I think will grow on me. It's a good tune and full of melody. It reminds me of Over the Rainbow.

For me it is the big (positive) surprise and something which we did not really hear yet in her music. It is amazing when the choir kicks in, I have listened to it quite some times now and I love that part still.

I think their vowels and tones don't match up at all.  
And that's my little choir terminology explanation :lol:
Other than that, The One really is a gorgeous song.

My Best is definately my favorite song thus far, the "Na na na na's" on Spring Street get pretty annoying after awhile and I don't like the way they're sung.

Stevie's vocals on The One are really distracting I think, she's awesome but she sounds like a billie goat during some lines. lol But it works, I guess. The harmony at the begining of the song is amazing.

I like Fool's Like Me a lot but the whistling in the begining completely throws me off, it's such a serious song and during the begining there's happy whistling. Oh man.

I looove the production on Hands On Me, the little nuances like the filtered and scattered voice that pops up (at the 7 second mark) throughout the verse, I just love stuff like that. And the way they produced the song so that it builds up, it's really impressive and epic, especially when the chorus kicks in at the end. Before I had doubts about this song working as a single, but the final product completely blew me away. Production wise I think this was the biggest surprise for me.

I love the begining of Come Undone, it makes me think of Dark Carnival.

I never really cared for This Time, even the finished studio version is just a standard Linda Perry ballad. The piano arrangement and style makes me think of Beautiful by Christina Aguilera, and the rest of the arrangement of the song just sounds really uninspired, it's not anything special, there's tons of stuff like this already on the radio.

I love the piano outro on Home, this is a beautiful beautiful song. I wonder why she doesn't play the outro live, it's really dramatic and poignant, it adds a nice touch and shows off her crazy skills. lol

More Than This is alright I guess, it has to grow me.

probably for the surprise factor?
or maybe since some of the places she played it at were radio stations, and everyone knows that radio listeners have little to no attention span.

Dammit, you quoted me before I fixed my sentence. lol There should be a why there. Hah.

Well, at shows like the Bowery Ball Room show she could've totally gotten away with playing it, and everyone would've eaten it up.

Ahh, finally!

I'm really impressed that it's only leaked two weeks before the release. Very impressive. We all knew it would happen, it was only a matter of when. Can't wait to listen to it... it sucks, cause I'm at work.
