By 1997, much of the music landscape had changed. The music papers were declaring the " Revolution" was on, and were ruling the charts, and simple seemed to be the domain of teenage girls. So what does the diva of the '90s do? She recruits ' , , and , starts writing unaided, and completely changes musical direction. Enter 's (the title was changed to after the death of ). From the trippy cover art to the abundance of guitars and experimental vocal tracks, this was her "great leap forward." The move got her in the papers, but, unfortunately, critical acclaim was lacking (and so were sales). Critics called it a mistake, and the public was less than impressed. Which is sad, because this is a pretty damn good record. Unlike her early work, this album sounds stronger and has a more natural feel. Her songwriting abilities have come a long way, and actually flows together as an album. Worth another look. ~ Chris True
