liz phair? what the hell happened?

I was going to keep myself from ranting about this. But has anyone hear the new Liz Phair?? What the hell is going on? Sarah and I were talking about it, and she's just lost it. No more singing in her natural range, no more music that was simple yet interesting (she's opt'ed for boring), and certainly no more lyrics that either raise an eyebrow from sexual brashness or curiosity about what would spark such a song. Nah, no more of that. Super simple songs that aren't really about anything worth hearing about. If you're going to be a recording artist, have something to say. And if you're going to be a recording artist that makes a name based on bearing yourself and your own creative ideas - don't turn around at some point and have million dollar production teams write your songs and lose all credibility.
Granted, the record was recorded / mixed well - from a technical standpoint it's great.. and I guess from a "pop trash" standpoint it's listenable as well. But I just don't get it.
