I agree, but I don't want the mood of the album to suffer because it jumps from Alterna to Bold and Delicious or something. Songs can be great individually but sometimes so many styles all put together can make an album sound very disjointed.

Nah let us hope not. Usually there's a sort of buffer track or some instrumental track which separates the genres. I do not think that she is so stupid to put for example HEAVEN just before STEP you or it would really sound awful. MY STORY had a "buffer" instrumental between the first set of tracks : between rock and rock ballads and ballads then another one to separate the upbeat tracks which eventually slowed down to winding road. Though I must say that in the end Humming 3/4 sounded weird placed after a ballad. But it seems a tradition to place the upbeat track after a ballad.. (Rainbow, I Am.., Duty) so that must be it.

Anyhow I do hope that the album will be carefully constructed in order to flow in a less disjointed manner.

Yeah, I'm sure there will be instrumentals to help change the mood from one song to the next. There are only 15 tracks total though and I think at least 3 instrumentals will be needed to help keep the flow of the album and I'd rather have more new tracks than a bunch of instrumentals.

Hm.. yeah me too. Maybe there shall only be two? MY STORY had 3 but one was more like an intro instrumental. Or maybe she'll add them later ? Myself I'd prefer new tracks but I do not want a disjointed album.
