Just listening to this as I work.
I know it's been maligned for a syrupy approach to their talents including the canned dialogue.
Regardless, I find I love this album and treasure it with every listen.
The orchestra is wonderful, Richard sounds good, and Karen just comes alive. Everything from the "thank you" in the background on S'Wonderful medley to the opening slow boil of There's a Kind of Hush. I love it.
By the time they do the hits medley and the conclusion of WOJB, I'm darned near choked up.
Live in Japan doesn't come close terms of artistry or in generating this emotion...
