Title: Very disappointed in this second album
Product review: After "Pieces of You"(which I really enjoyed), I was unimpressed by Jewel's second effort. I liked her first album because the lyrics seemed honest. "Spirit",on the other hand, seemed like a shallow attempt to appear deep. It seems that everyone has ascribed great spiritual enlightenment and depth to Jewel, looking for multiple meanings and hidden treasures in her songs, when very little exists. She tried too hard with this album, and she bought into her public image. Its a shame.There are a few good tracks on this album, but I cringed every time Jewel reused the metaphor "fragile flame"--perhaps a thesaurus would help. And was I the only one who was annoyed by her "Fat Boy" Song considering she uses the phrase "A fat man takes my money" in another song. That would be like putting a song "Coma Boy" right next to "Adrian" in her first album. I will buy her next album and hope for the best, but after "Spirit" I'm not waiting anxiously.
