Yes, I agree with this statement. I think her most creative years musically were her first few albums, but I felt that she kept that going at least somewhat until Miss Understood. Secret has many tracks I love, but I do think things started to go downhill somewhat. These past two years though I feel have been especially bad; I think that Moon/Blossom is her weakest sounding single ever released - neither song grabs me at all. And I also feel that with the one exception of Don't Look Back, the album tracks on RNC are her most forgettable ever even though I've tried a lot to get into them.
