I never liked his mauling of Bonnie Raitt's song. He took a heartbreaking song about unrequited love, and a lover's emotional shortcomings, and turned it into just another cheap seduction.

Great thread idea, I'll keep this in mind when I get Emancipation... eventually.

Then again, I suppose it varies from fan to fan, but I'll be taking notes, lol.

Well, mental notes.
had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone

As soon as I bought the CD, I gave it a listen.
The following day,
I gave the CD to my brother.

So, I'd have to say that, for this album,
I liked all the songs equally.

I am one of 'those' people who thinks that when it comes to songwriting / composition skills Emancipation is maybe his strongest album since 'Sign'.

A shame that most of this potentially good / great material is spoiled by plastic / uninspired production and a lousy delivery (musically and vocally).

With a more inspired production and a more soulfull delivery of the music and vocals the following songs could have made a great single CD:

1. Jam of the year
2. We gets up
3. Damned if i do
4. In this bed i scream
5. Curius child
6. The Holy river
7. Lets have a baby
8. Saviour
9. Friend, lover, sister, mother/wife
10.Face Down
11.Style
12.My computer
13.The love we make
14.Emancipation

I - In This Bed I Scream

III - The Love We Make

A really good album, I think... some quality control could have been used, but, by and large a wonderfully enjoyable three hours.

'Soul Sancuary' is fake.
Listen 'Send me an angel' of Scorpions.
