    After all the hype, I was disappointed as well. However, if you
    bought the single, you did get "9x9" on the B-side, which made the
    price a little easier to swallow. "Les Fleur" sounds OK in the
    context of the full album, but in my opinion, there were much better
    choices for the lead-off single.
