** Actually, Tori seems to have reconciled herself with the album, to the extent that she occasionally plays songs from the album live (particularly "Etienne" and "Cool on Your Island"). This may be an example of an artist reconciling with Old Shame. As for the badness of the album, [[Your Mileage May Vary|opinions differ widely]]; some folks think it's abysmal, while others find it kind of charming in a synth-poppy, "80s hard rock meets [[Kate Bush]]" kind of way.
