Yes! It's stuck permanently halfway between angry girl guitar rock and American Idol pop hooks, and is simultaneously both and neither, which might have been why neither demographic really went for it in the way that they did for Breakaway. Whatever the reason, after being initially unimpressed, it's continued to grow on me. It's probably one of my favourite pop/rock/mainstream albums of the past few years. The weird little bonus track, Chivas, which almost sounds as though it were recorded on a four track is grebt.
