Well, I don't want to judge an entire album based on the four songs we've heard so far...
If someone had played me Fidelity, Better, On the Radio, and Hotel Song and said: "Behold, the new Regina album", I would have been very disappointed. But, Begin to Hope had some beautiful moments.
I think the thing that scares me, is that although the lyrics are still excellent, the songs don't appear to be as creative musically and they seem overproduced.
I still love Regina though and would love to see her live again. That way, you get her and a piano (and a drumstick).
