That's How We Do It In L.A.

I think Law is the one truly alternative album Lindsey ever made. It's a whoopie cushion (I borrow the trope from Steve Simels) with no relationship to anything in the culture in 1981—like Tusk before it, it's an actual alternative to the popular music world at that time.

Even Lindsey's staunchest fans listen to his later albums and cite other favorites of theirs as being similar in style, sonics, or atmosphere. But nobody ever said Law sounded like something else in the pop world at that time. (The same holds largely true for Tusk.) LB really and truly created an alternative work that first time out. Completely original (even the style of its '40s and '50s covers is unlike anybody else's), Law is also—luckily for me—the funniest and bounciest, which is why it's my favorite.
