Well all I know of Jennifer Paige is that song “Crush”, so the opener is not what I expected: very dramatic, sweeping and powerful, and it's continuing in that vein. No empty pop/dance songs here, at least so far. Very impressed with this. “Like a Bomb” is the first ballad and it certainly hits like several pounds of Semtex. Man, that is dramatic and emotional! I may have to rethink the image I've created of this woman musically. It's hard to pick a standout here; they're all amazingly good, but “To the Madness,” “The Devil's in the Details”, the title track, the already mentioned “Like a Bomb” are all serious contenders. And “January”. And ... ah, **** it: just buy the damn thing. You won't regret it.

Check out more from this artist? Oh for sure
Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Yep

(I wanted “Like a Bomb” but this was the only video from the album I could find. You would not believe how many results there were for “Crush”. **** it, people: she's more than just that one song. Listen. To. This. Album. Now!)
Expectation Index: 10

(Gigantic Debaser: here's a good example of how the EI works. I had put this as a FF of “Moderate”, not expecting to be impressed. I was blown away. So now the EI is a big fat red ten, meaning I was totally wrong, as wrong as I could be in my original assessment).
