Definitely. I know some people were against the re-recorded vocals, but I think with her tone now they could have gone down a couple octaves and made the tracks sound a lot fuller. From how she/they described the album, it did its job well: the tracks are light/easy listening, the mashup is there, and it certainly twisted both her tracks and the classical pieces for everyone to enjoy.
But yes, a deeper re-recording, fuller orchestra, and dropping it an octave or two would have definitely "wow"ed me a lot more. They had a chance with her later releases (Days and Virgin Road), but it wasn't as impactful as it could have been.
HONEY was also pretty good! I didn't think it was bad at all, and it certainly exceeded my expectations.
