    I thought I wasn't familiar with this album at all, but just checked my collection and I seem to have it
    Can't say I ever remember playing it before, so will give it some listens over the weekend.

    Well I gave it a listen, but can't really say I enjoyed it. I'm pretty sure I haven't played it before, at least I don't think so and I have no idea how or when it arrived in my collection, the only thing I can think is that it belonged to an ex?

    A bit too pop for me and I can't get on with Dolores O'Riordan's voice at all, I really don't like her yodelling style, especially on Waltzing Back - reminds me to much of Bjork, who I can't listen to either. O'Riordan's vocal style is far too sloppy and inconsistent for my tastes. In fact sometimes I'm scratching my head thinking what the heck is she doing, is she drunk or half asleep On this occasion I am fully in agreement with John (Welder). I quite like some of the songs and the composition, but O'Riordan sets my teeth on edge.

    Interesting conundrum as to why I own it, but not as to why I don't play it - I doubt I will ever listen to it again and because I don't like the vocals, it only gets a 3/10 . . . sorry, just not my thing.

    You don't like Bjork, Tim? You bad, bad man!

    I have her solo CD and I think it is pretty good!

    Hmmm, not much to be honest, it just confirmed that Bjork isn't for me. I tried though

    Some of the tracks take me back... While it's not K.D. Lang quality I still enjoyed it, though I reckon I added some to the overall score I gave it due to the older tracks invoking memories

    6/10 from me.
    Bests, Mark
