I'm tired of people bashing the 0304 album. Intuition doesn't define the entire album. The majority of the songs on the album were songs Jewel normally sang, but with a different beat to it.
Jewel's 0304 was one of the few really good POP albums to come out last year, and I don't see how songs like Haunted, 2 Find U or Stand were that much different than the songs she did when it was just her and a guitar.
As a fan of POP MUSIC who realizes there's not much POP MUSIC out there for people over 21 nowadays (it's either hip hop, hard rock, or pop-punk out now for people who are over 21, but under 45), I thought Jewel's album was a nice breath of fresh air, I have all 4 albums and 0304 certainly has been the most played album. Intuition doesn't define an entire album. There's a few Tori Amos-ish songs on there, a few that resemble No Doubt, a few that sound like Sheryl Crow. I loved the "new Jewel". I like dance music, so I also liked that she made her music a tad more "club friendly" as well.
0304 rocked and I think people gave it an unfair beating because they hated Intuition, when over half of the album were songs Jewel would've sang on her previous albums.
