When I first listened to this CD, I found that it was so much different than her last 2 CDs, it did not grab me right away. Then, while having the CD play while I did others things, the Lyrics really hit me! I finally got it! The first song, "Breakdown," gets the album off to a great start with its rolling guitar. That song, and "Enough Of Me" have those great Etheridgian choruses that we come to expect from her music. The emotional intensity is there-- raw and captivating. This CD rocks! With songs like " Mama I'm strange", and the powerful "Scarecrow" this music moves you and disturbs at the same time. Oh, and she has thrown in a couple of love songs for Julie as well. BRAVO Melissa!
