Drop "Behind the Wall" and you may have one of the ten best albums of all time. Why is the album so good? Listen to the album now almost 20 years later and the music sounds fresh, the lyrics are still relevant. The album is that good because Chapman has a wonderful voice and the arrangements compliment her voice and lyrics perfectly. Ignoring "Behind the Wall" every song has a good pop melody that is easy to listen to and easy to remember.
The problem with such a good album is that it is almost impossible to follow up. It is hard enough to write such wonderful lyrics let alone mix them with such wonderful arrangements and melodies. This album may have been a bit overplayed in its time, but it deserved the attention it got and it has held up extremely well over time.
