You say that I'm using "data mining sites that have nothing to do with professional criticism" when, in fact, my sources in my prior posts are all about professional criticism.
These websites take the time to analyze all of the major music critical assessments out there and aggregate the scores to give a reasonably objective overall assessment of an album or artist.
Again, you may not like the results but that doesn't make the results untrue or inaccurate. When all major critical assessments are aggregated, Lindsey comes in as a solid but not critically acclaimed artist. That's nothing to be ashamed of.
He's had a solid solo career but it's important to not misrepresent the quality of the music.
I actually read all the links in your last email. Not sure if you actually read them or just linked to them but the reviews say that Lindsey's solo work is generally solid, but not excellent.
For example, the American Songwriter review that you linked says that Lindsey's "Anthology" is a "reasonable but flawed" album. That's about how I would describe Lindsey's solo career; reasonably good, but flawed.
