Lyrically, it's almost like Lindsey has gone back to just finding rhymes, throwing words together and using the words in a way that is less about message and more about putting the finishing touches on the canvas. Having said that, I like all three songs. I like pop Lindsey. When he gets into that mode, he may be lighter thematically but he can craft some seriously catchy tunes.

I like pop Lindsey. I like
Trouble and
Did You Miss Me. I don't 100% dislike
Holiday Road. I mean, I'm happy with it in a way. I just don't want it played in concert, in the place of finer songs. I actually like
Oh Diane, just fine. So, I think I like frothy Lindsey.
But to me, these "40" songs don't have as contagious a hook as the "poppy" tunes of his.
