 like The Gate at all. >>

Maybe it's been discussed before (I'll keep it short), but I don't like "Is it
Wicked..." very much at all, and the short sound clip I heard of "The Gate"
actually impressed me more (Wicked is the only Isobel song I've heard). "Is it
Wicked Not to Care" just seems like an incredibly weak song, in my opinion,
instrumentally and vocally (though I think Isobel's voice backs up Murdoch's
perfectly), and lyrics like "but still I hesitate because of fear" almost make
me embarrased to play it out loud.  The video helped the song, though, I
thought.

It seems people who like Wicked hate The Gate...hmm, maybe I'll get lucky and
it'll be a vice versa deal.
