when i say "schizophrenia" i dont mean in terms of what shes singing about -
more the contrast between the music, and her singing and lyrics.

im glad to see that some people do get the album. i wll keep on listening &
maybe someday it'll click.
i just have a huge anti-bias to that 80's synth/keyboard sound. never got it
at the time & still dont. at the time that all my friends were listening to
visage, and spandau ballet, and depeche mode - i was listening to jimi, &
janis, and neil young, and joni - i was very into shadows & light.
so in my case the music actually makes it more difficult to swallow :-)
