Thanks to John for the contribution.

Of course it isn’t going to be Renaissance, but that doesn’t mean that it is worthless. It isn’t fair to compare it to Renaissance because it is a solo album, and a completely different genre of music. I think people lose something when they deconstruct music so thoroughly. I don’t rely on my analytical mind with music- all I care about is if I like the sound. I also think it’s a waste of time to compare artists to their past works - the earlier works are usually the most popular because that’s the first thing people heard, but I’ve found that when I’ve heard bands’ later works first, I usually like them better.
Anyway, this is my favorite of her later albums (although I don’t think she likes it much). It has variety - the songs are of similar genre, but it’s not one of these albums where they all sound the same. It has some new wave effects and other musical interludes which are colorful. To me it’s kind of classy and just a fun album for if a person isn’t in a “I need an intense ultimate prog listening experience” kind of mood.
