I'll admit it, I bought into the Natalie Imbruglia craze two years ago, and defended this CD to the death. I just played the album again in the first time for over a year and I'm really surprised how dated the melodies already sound. The problem isn't really with the melodies, which I guess are fine for the most part, but the production mixed with Natalie's singing voice and wannabe-poetic lyrics makes almost every song sound awkward and overproduced. Beneath the dancebeats and gimmicks of "Torn" and "Wishing I Was There" are some pretty good melodies, but it's really hard to notice when you're being cast into 1998 chick-pop Lilith Fair America. "Smoke" and "Pigeons and Crumbs" are brilliant ballads, however (especially the latter), and I'll stand up for them any day. The rest of this album...eh...
