I went for Beautiful Intentions as my best although Northern Star is pretty neck and neck with it.

Worst would easily be Stages

Northern Star is easily my favourite wub.gif
Stagesis my least favourite, I like a few tracks but in general it’s a total miss.

'Northern Star' is my favourite - although 'The Sea' runs it a very close second. Brilliant and underrated album that was. 'This Time' was the worst for me purely because it was the least engaging.

I love reason and I'm shocked but has 3 votes for worst, its by far her album I listen to the most. Stages gets worst as it does nothing for me.

I dont understand the hate for Reason when it has such wonderful songs such as:

Here It Comes Again
Lose Myself In You
On The Horizon
Lets Love and
Melt.

It is, after all it's recorded in a studio! Christmas albums count as studio albums too.

All of those songs are part of the reason why that album is demonised. Those songs are particularly bad, only better than Soul Boy imo. The only good songs are Reason and Home. The rest is pish cry.gif

It most certainly is down to different tastes but Reason is just enjoyable throughout.
Northern Star is a great album too but has a variant of sounds going through it which takes from the album.
Beautiful Intentions is my second choice as it has a together sound to it but i like the songs less than those on Reason.

I've never really joined other fans in believing Reason is mostly bad. For the most part I quite like it actually, the only song I don't like is Soul Boy. Lose Myself in You is the best album track imo.

I love reason too but some of the b-sides are much better than some of the album tracks

Isn’t it 20 years?? Anyway... I voted for Reason because it’s the one I listen more frequently. The songs didn’t age as bad as some from Northern Star (my opinion). And the worst has to be Stages... sorry, but only bought it because it was Melanie.

Aaah Jay wub.gif

I'm with you I never understood the intense dislike for Reason I think there are some great tracks on it, could do with a bit of a re-working of track order and boot of Soul boy and Do I for Love you without trying and Love to you instead. Something like this:

1. Here it comes again
2. Yeh, yeh, yeh
3. On the horizon
4. Reason
5. Lose myself in you
6. Let's love
7. I love you without trying
8. Positively somewhere
9. Love to you
10. Melt
11. Water
12. Home

My favourite album track is probably Reason although I love Home and Positively Somewhere too wub.gif

Is it recorded in a studio ?
It is a covers album not created in a studio. It is a concept album.

Madonna for example does not include her gh , her remix album or her soundtracks as ‘her albums’ .
