The poor child was now all alone in the great forest, and she was so afraid that she just looked at all the leaves on the trees and did not know what to do. Then she began to run. She ran over sharp stones and through thorns … Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee . . . till thou return to the earth out of which thou toast taken (Gn 3:18). Snow White longed for the beautiful apple, and when she saw that the peasant woman was eating part of it, she could no longer resist. … and she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat (Gn 3:6). The prince had his servants carry [the coffin] away on their shoulders. And they forced one . . . who passed by … to take up his cross (Mk 15:21). Not long afterward she opened her eyes, lifted the lid from her coffin, sat up, and was alive again. And taking the damsel by the hand, he saith to her: Talitha cumi, which is, being interpreted: Damsel, I say to thee, arise (Mk 5:41). “Come with me to my father’s castle.” This day thou shalt be with me in paradise (Lk 23:43).

Overall, I found the album to be boring and unoriginal.
2. Mike - 1/5 rating - I couldn't stand the "Magic man album". It seemed like every song was a cheap attempt at a hit single, with no real depth or emotion. The production was overdone and the artist's voice was grating. I couldn't even make it through the whole album because I found it so unappealing. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time on this one.
