I don't necessarily think that studio production has to always be as close to the live sound as possible. Lindsey has always tended to produce things in the studio that could not be completely reproduced live, at least not without an army of musicians and singers. I don't mind that. A beautifully constructed song in the studio and then a more raw, simple version of that song live is pretty cool for me.
Now as many of my posts of have alluded to; the choices Lindsey made regarding production and engineering choices on Say You Will and Under The Skin did leave me kind of cold. Regarding vocals; too much distortion, effects, whispering and not enough singing.
Did You Miss Me does work for me. Right now, I like it. It has an updated Law and Order/Mirage sound that I am enjoying.
