The result is songs that could have been much more powerful, like POWDER SNOW, Hana, and For My Dear... having very little impact, especially compared to later comparable tracks like M, talkin' 2 myself, and HEAVEN. The album just sounds like it isn't done yet.
The whole album needs a redo with her new vocals & production crew, if you ask me. YOU and Depend on you benefitted GREATLY from that treatment.

I agree with this. The lyrics themselves are amazing, and probably some of her best work ever but the production really lets down the album.
I would love to see more 10th anniversary versions from this album, YOU and DoY's 10th versions were great and are far more listenable than the original versions. ASFXX is a great work but it could be given more work to suit the new millenium..
