3)Or maybe she's a Kurt Warner. She was good, but now she's kinda washed up...

4)Or she's a McNabb. Was hot and a respected part of the team but now is losing her momentum.

Let's use a 4-sided die to see where life will take her

Well, this is hard to answer.

As a patriotic citizen of Lilly Town: of course I do! I paid good money to get the pre-order deluxe set thingy!
But on a purely musical level: not really my style.. at all.

Can't say that I like it... but saying that I dislike it would be a lie as well.

As I listen to this album again, it's really a shame that this album didn't reach a larger public. It's so suited for after-dark, quiet hours.

She hasn't "retired" then "unretired" then "maybe retired" then taken a picture of her genitalia. Therefore not a Favre.

At least BA ruled out Favre! Of the choices, I'd vote Peyton Manning.

Hey, I like UEDS. A lot. But it's different, not normally my bag. Some parts were really cool, like the creepy, creaky lead-in music before Les Collines - I feel there should have been more of that kinda stuff. More tie-ins between songs would have made for a stronger, more cohesive "concept album".

We'll see what happens next. If it's similar, great. But I'm optimistic that the next album will be even better.

That. Was. Awesome.

Or maybe a Tom Brady. She came out of nowhere 10 years ago, and coached by a reclusive mastermind, dominated. Made the opposite sex swoon. Hasn't had huge success for awhile, and current hairstyle is questionable. Still has everything needed for a big comeback, and can't be counted out.

I voted like because as I've said before,"Alizee could sing the phone book and I would like it."

[RobandSandy]

I already know I do not ring through as the most popular voice here on this forum. And my opinion of UEDS is alike, not the most popular view. However, I did not come here to win any popularity contests. UEDS in my humble opinion is her best work to date, Limelight, by far my favorite single by her, and the subject matter of her first concept album, Edie Sedgwick's life and early demise.......brilliant, and Alizée has not been the first to have Edie as a subjct of thier work either....... The Cult Edie [Ciao Baby] is also about Edie early demise in the Eastern Village scene of the mid to late 60s.....simply put, Alizée is the best of the best!

I think deciding between like'dislike is a bit of a bland question. Hard to really tell why, bt it is. It's good, and I liked it, but I don't know. I feel just saying 'I liked it' or 'I didn't like it' is kind of stiff.

Sure, it's a great album in many ways, but I do find it very significant that among us, some of her biggest fans in the world, almost 1 out of 5 of us doesn't like UEDS. If it was really hot, shouldn't we all be unanimously crazy about it? If it was really that hot, would this poll even need to exist? Hmmmmm.

When you do a bunch of different stuff, not everyone will like it. And UEDS was *really* different. A brave move.

Now take a band like AC/DC, that has done the same thing for almost 40 years. If fans don't like one of their albums, it's not because it's a different style, it's because they think it's bad... because AC/DC would never do a concept album about the life of Edie Sedgwick.
