Get out! Tell me more about this 'band' you speak of.

Maybe the reviewer was getting caught up in appreciating the remasters in terms of how the albums were produced, which wasn't exclusively Lindsey of course, but I think is something he deserves credit for if its given. And not that much is given.

For decades, reviewers' terms of reference seem to have been largely based around Stevie's input into the albums, or the band as a single entity, so now that Lindsey is getting more and more kudos for his role in the albums I think its a great thing. It may not seem even or fair in isolation, but taking into account the past thirty odd years, critical evaluations of the band are starting to resemble something more even and fair.
