"my best" is really sad - especially the ending after the last two lines. i like it a lot.

i know it's been so long
i can't ever seem to forget
all it takes is a song
and i could swear i hear your steps
down the hall..

I'm still a fan of V, but not of this album at this point. Which is pretty sad, 'cuz I've waited a little over 2 years for this album, and it's fallen short of my expectations... at least sound-wise and vocally. I was expecting something like HARMONIUM and BNN put together, but more progressive and mature. NF is the best track so far. The only thing that really wowed me was the classically-inspired bit on 'Home', which is the longest song on the album. I hope against all hope that V doesn't sing the way she did on HAT on her future records, 'cuz her voice was just a mess [as well as the protooling, production, and engineering]. It could mean her career going down the tubes. The album cover is haunting [it even scares me b/c V looks like she's gonna jump out and eat me at anytime], but I like it. The photos for the album are pretty lame, though [the ones for BNN and HARMONIUM were pretty good].

Irv executive produced, so the album has to be a little mainstream.

I really think that "More Than This" (my favorite song) wraps up the album beautifully in every way.  It really is like the last chapter of a book that ends sweetly.

I'm sorry lol but thats how I would describe this album. It has its own sound and vibe of course, but I feel she's found a happy medium between her younger more simple sound on BNN and the heavy production and orchestras on harmonium.

Have to disagree again im afraid, I think the album photoshoot is BEAUTIFUL. I will admit, though, that from the pictures i've seen so far they didnt use the best ones in the album booklet.

Yeah I guess I was expecting at least a FEW of some dark songs, but I'm glad with the way V has gone - it's how she's been feeling and I think it really reflects her life now, and if she's happy, we're happy  :lol:

Another thing: has anyone noticed she didn't really have a song which was extremely difficult (vocally)? I was expecting some majorly high notes for a long time (Annie? San Fran?). I'm not complaining, I was just a little bit surprised...I don't know :/

All in all though, I really LOVE how Heroes & Thieves turned out!!! It's gonna be huuugge :D Congrats Vanessa!!!
