No doubt Juliana is in top form, musically, on this CD, however, if you are looking for something similar to her previous work, you'll be dissappointed. This is a pop album in every sense of the word. No grungy guitars. No growls or snarling vocals. Honestly, this CD falls in the same vein of Sarah McLaughlin and Jewel. Nothing exciting here. This is the album Atlantic records wanted Juliana to record 8 years ago when they were looking for her to be a pop princess. Today, these songs are unoriginal and lack any spark or emotion. Juliana is best when she's pissed off about something (see "Beautfil Creature" which is freakin brilliant!). Maybe she's just too happy right now, I don't know, but I found this CD to be a total bore. Give me angst-ridden Juliana anyday over this American Idol bubble gum pop. Her other work is MASTERFUL - this is really rather dull.
