Exactly. I think (in my opinion) Jewel just generally sounds better live acoustic type. Majority of the songs on the album I've already heard live bootlegs of and I just prefer her like that. I think she sounds funny when she's really overproduced. It's even hard for me to listen to This Way or 0304 or GAIW sometimes if the songs sound too polished.
I can hear Jewel in this album but it's like digging way down deep for me. I understand what she was going for and I am proud of her for doing what she wants, but it's just kind of difficult for me to listen to.

I have to be a little negative but in a good way. I wanted to chop my ears off while listening to 'Til it feels like cheating'. The lyrics, the song, the point, WTF? Jewel? WTF?!!!? I was kinda grossed out. Then as I was looking through the cd booklet I saw that it's the one song she did not write. Phew.... but wait, is this the first time she's recorded a song she herself did not write?
