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?
