Query: Nowhere near her first CD

I've spent all day listening to her CD over and over again at work, and can't seem to find the connection with her music as I easily did to her first CD. Her second CD is heavily dependent on repetition; however, the repetition is not catchy nor listenable. "Thank U" was definately engineered to be the "radio hit" to bring in buyers. Her quest to show us she has not sold out has dissuaded me - her poppy music backing up her angst-filled lyrics are what drew me to her in the first place. This follow-up is very reminiscent of Dave Matthew's recent CD, Before These Crowded Streets - another dark, unlistenable, experimental work suitable only for the hardcore fan, determined to love the band regardless of the material they put forth.
