^That's a spectacular review, which captures Lindsey's explosiveness.

And that's what so great about Lindsey's music. Sometimes, his lyrics have to be bare and simple, because he marries them to complex sound which translate them for us. When you are playing with such emotion, too many words can only distract from it. For instance, the way he plays Go Insane, you don't really want him to say more than "I scream your name. She's a lot like you." The feeling is there. It's primal and instinctive. You don't need more words to bring it out and right into our hearts.

This reviewer has captured the way Lindsey's guitar finishes his sentences.

Hurt is only anger and love blended. Anger is only love and hurt. This reviewer hears Lindsey breaking down those components and stringing them back together.
