3.3 - In middle school, you might hitch a ride home with a buddy, and his mom would be playing this CD. You're not friendly enough with the family to suggest switching to WBCN, and your buddy isn't saying anything so you just sigh and look out the window. This record is lame but endearing as "mom rock" tends to be. First, though K.D. Lang's voice is powerful, she's a hopeless crooner and moans for the entirety of this record about all her various heartaches. Second, Lang has ditched the country in favor of cabaret so there are lots of oriental instrumentations applied with a slightly heavy hand, which makes much of this record sound precious. Third, to accentuate the preciousness, Lang has incorporated all this fancy diction and latinate phrasing, giving us song titles like "Still Thrives This Love", "Season of Hollow Soul", "Tears of Love's Recall." All in all, I once again feel feel like that middle school boy who has to roll his eyes and suffer through this record.
