Funky Big Band and New Agenda are, as I said earlier, where the album sags for me, but it picks up at the end.

I LOVE New Agenda.

I personally think the album should have stopped at Again. The last 3 ballads before Whoops Now are SO LONG AND DREARY. Do they all need to be over 5 minutes, really?

Any Time, Any Place is one of my favourite things she's ever done.
 
The only one of the ballads at the end that outstays its welcome is The Body That Loves You. Which is just a Funny How Time Flies/ Come Back To Me rewrite. I like it, but it's not NECESSARY.

"New Agenda" is quite topical these days, and it does kind of pick up where Rhythm Nation left off thematically, but I find it a bit NOISY

I love the vocal harmonies on 'Because Of Love'. She was so cute in the video. My girls and I used to do the shoop shoop waooohhhh bit together

This has always been my issue with her, the peaks are great, but a lot of the rest is quite WISHY WASHY.
 
I like Because of Love but it was blatantly an attempt to tap into the When I Think Of You/ Love Will Never Do vein that never REALLY came off as well as those did.

I like "Again" but I don't think she has the voice for it.

She definitely tried to re-create it with "Every Time" on the next album too.
 
Again is TWEE but I do love it. It's a perfect movie ballad.

Again doesn't QUITE go as a theme to Poetic Justice
