Bruce L Young's least favourites, and my comments.
> 1.  	Experiment IV
        OH NO! _Feel_ the chill!
> 2.	Waking the Witch
	_Feel_ the confusion! Who needs melody???
> 3.	Houdini
	Well, we disagree. I am usually very sensitive to over-acting, too :-)
> 4.	Coffee Homeground
	Haven't heard this...
> 5.	Deeper Understanding
	I think it is *lovely*, 'nuff said.
> 6.	Wuthering Heights (new vocal)
	The new vocals are less grating, I'm not much for her high voice.
> 7.	Rocket Man
	As far as covers go, this is one interesting twist!
> 8.	Burning Bridge
	Haven't heard this...
> 9-10.	Random selections from TSW, excepting "Love and Anger", "Reaching
>	Out", "The Sensual World", "Walk Down the Middle". 
	Which means you don't like "The fog"???

I tell you Bruce, you're _sick_, _sick_, _sick_! :-) That list could
almost have been my favourites. I'd have to throw in "Jig of Life"
someplace among the top 3, though - that's the world's greatest track
for dancing. No contest. Her best _melody_ (if you know what I mean)
is "The man with the child in his eyes", so that would have to go in
there somewhere, too.

My least favourites?
  1.    Eat the music
	ARGH! Sony should know better than sending US releases onto
	the Norwegian market. Norwegian pop tastes has always been
	more British. KaTe shouldn't listen to the suits - the suits
	never liked her music, so they won't know what her fans will
	like. Bring back EMI!
  2.	The big sky
	Tedious, repetitious. The video is nice, though, one of her
	finest.
  3.	Uhm, can't think of more. :-)

I know, hope you don't take offence :-)
