DELICIOUS

I am OBSESSED with 'She'll Never Be Me' & 'Am I A Sinner'. They're literally PERFECT and sit incredibly well alongside 'Cinderella', 'Lonely' & 'Let Me Be'! It's really strange because I actually think these songs are the "definitive" sound for the era for me, but none of them were singles! Lol.

'She'll Never Be Me', 'Am I A Sinner', 'When I Say So' and 'My Big Secret' are all SO DAMN GOOD! Flawless re-release in all honesty. Everything I could want in a 25th Anniversary release.

Two be fair two to three singles were incredibly dull with one being horrible. I’m Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman and Boys are both pretty average at best and I Love Rock And Roll is absolutely horrendous in my view. So many other great songs on the album and they went with that.

Anyway yes I agree. The other new songs are growing on me.

Honestly the singles roll out should have been:

01. I'm A Slave 4 U

02. Cinderella

03. Overprotected

04. Lonely

05. Boys (US) & Before The Goodbye (Internationally)

Unfortunately, I think 'Crossroads' and 'Austin Powers' muddied the roll out for this. I would have preferred INAG,NYAW & ILRNR to have just been made for the soundtrack or something. I don't think they particularly *needed* their singles moments, but I completely understand why they went with INAG,NYAW (just a personal preference that I wanted them not as a part of this era etc..)
