Secondly I want to say, that first single "Sing" sucked real bad. That could not have taen more than 10 minutes to write. I was greatly displeased with that track, its put me off from the rest.

Well, by real I mean, it really came from the heart, like there are reasons she wrote them. Coin-operated Boy was a kind of exception, but there were still reasons behind it. Amanda says in interviews that she likes writing songs that people can have fun with and enjoy, and she can enjoy playing/singing. That is also the reason behind "Sex Changes" on the new CD. She doesnt really want to be a man, nor do I believe she has any friends that went under the knife, but its just a fun song. And Sing isnt one of my favorites. The new CD was written and recorded in between shows during a year of straight touring, so it's just rushed and mediocre.
