I found a link to the video for "Something That You Said" on their
site. (This should get you there:
http://www.jvcmusic.co.jp/PV/VICP-62174-03F.ram .) My first (and second)
impression is that, yeah, maybe the production is a little slick, but I
already like it much more than "Eternal Flame" (call me a "smurf" or
whatever, but I never liked that one). It's *really* good to hear those
harmonies again. Looks like the US won't get the album until after most of
the rest of the world, but I don't think I'll be able to wait.
I like the video as well. It's tastefully retrospective.
