I had a huge problem judging this album objectively when it first came out. My initial reaction was, "OMG, she sounds like she's beating herself to death with a happy stick!" Then I saw it was dedicated to her mother Hannah who had recently died, and I heard she broke up with Del, and I allowed my worries to influence my opinion of the music.

I used to think Moments of Pleasure and You're the One were sappy, and now I find them very heartfelt and beautiful. I love Rubberband Girl and would like to hear Sir Paul McCartney cover it. But I think my favorite song is the title track.

The Line, The Cross, and The Curve? She was waaay too hard on herself regarding that. It's great fun.
