I like some of the songs on PQ (though hbya is still my 2nd least favorite song of hers)but I feel like that album was the beginning of the end of her popularity. Like I know sales started dropping before but that album seemed to really mess up peoples perspective of her... I don't hate that album and I respect the message she gave off because it seemed like she practically told the world that she couldn't even pretend to be in a good place in her life...its hard for me to describe but i feel like that album is very raw and was written with no intention on simply pleasing the public ear.
However, I feel that her production value has dropped considerably since then so that album kind of makes me uneasy...
ESM and the next love are definitely my favorite tracks as well as the song Party Queen.
