Yah, there's no denying she's straddled the line between art/commercial her entire career. But at this point the dichotomy between Ringo as a "serious" musician (Soil & Pimp collabs, Between Today and Tomorrow etc.) and "pop" singer (HIT) seems to be growing larger and larger, while earlier albums like SS and even SG reconciled the two better. I think I was more saying that the commercial aspect has to come to overshadow everything else.
What's the use putting up a fuss though? I'm just happy she's still making music, even if the results can be half-baked. A lot of people are sick of the complaints, but it's hard not to have high expectations for someone who's set a high standard for herself throughout her career.
Also, that cover - gorgeous.
