Really good, but not outstanding

Who in which appeared in front of a quarter of a century "Lion and Cobra" creates the bar, in my opinion, reveals especially as nostalgia fan who wants to refresh his childhood memories. Naturally must and Sinead O'Connor can not dwell on this debut, of course, it has changed and therefore their music. I can understand that the Sinead from back then was better, but when you see her artistic development as a whole, it is currently not at a low point, but inspired in a Phase desire to create (as long is indeed more than just solid predecessor not returned).
It shall work for the new album fresh and powerful, the songs have Drive and depth are well produced and varied. I wonder why almost all the songs have been hidden rather unkind to the pop song-standard length of three to four minutes. Part of the concept (I do not pop and art) or indifference?
