i don't think it was a bad album at all. it's not the best, no, but it made me sick because it was one of the most heart wrenching albums i've ever heard. i can't explain why i feel the way that i do about that, but when i listen to it i just feel sick because it's so amazingly sad sounding. anyway with that said, i love this album and i think it's an incredible piece of work. - amy
