Graduated Fool is her third album, between(2001) not included. As a singer Anouk is back in the old fashioned way, but she should have left the production to someone else. In particular the soggy and unimaginative rock sound and the here and there weak melody lines (Who Cares) are flaws that are unworthy of a star like Anouk. (MS)more
