See the thing is, on her new album she doesn't have anything really to say that is personal or has to do with her life really. Almost anyone could sing the lyrics from 'Somebody's Miracle' and have it be theirs. Supernova, though not one of her VERY best, is superior to any track found on Somebody's Miracle, in my opinion. I'd say it's much worthier than hearing her wail "Do you really know me at all? Are you really gonna be that real to me?" or similar schlock.
Really? Have you listened to Table for One? I would say that that is one of the most intensely personal songs she's ever written. On that same note, what is so personal about Supernova (I know that you didn't bring up the example of Supernova, I'm just using it to further the discussion)? It's a good song, don't get me wrong, but it seems far less personal to me than Table for One.
I'm not trying to negate your opinion. I mean, you know how I feel about her old stuff compared to her new. I agree that a lot of the songs on her last album (last 2 actually) haven't been that personal. But there have been a few, and those few songs, I think, are definitely worth remembering.
