Hi Aaron,
FITD better than C&C? Well, yes and no. Are we all nuts? Hell, yes!
I like "My Brave Face", "This One", Figure of Eight", "Put It There" and
"Motor of Love" better than anything on C&C. The rest of the songs
(such as "We Got Married", "Rough Ride") are throwaways and worse than
songs on C&C.
To answer your question more specifically, I would prefer an
inconsistent album with 5 really strong pop songs and soybean filler.
So FITD gets my vote.
But...different strokes for different folks.
Marty
P.S. Flowers in the Dirt.... Digust? Really?
