Though divided in terms of prioritizing problems: some felt the concept was hoary, cliche-ridden and predictable; others felt the power-ballad fueled treatment was at fault; still others felt both. But I didn't read anyone who round a reason to cheer a coming together of elements. Some like Pinkham and other preferred the yeoman's work of Baldwin.
I had high hopes for Kitt. Many of us have wonderful responses to "Next to Normal." I thought "If/Then" had a powerful, evocative score, with several songs simply beautiful. (I always respond to "Always Starting Over." But outside of the context, "Learn to Live Without" is an exquisite elegy about grief, and remains one of my favorite songs of this era.) |
