Oh David. Who is that guy in your avatar? What happened to Beethoven?

Your obsession with me is starting to get a little freaky.

If you were intellectually honest about engaging me in discussion, you could do this work. Instead, you opt for coy, puzzling rejoinders, and link to data mining sites that have nothing to do with professional criticism or the rock press establishment at major pubs. (Your incoherent reference to the "soft reviewer" at Rolling Stone is a real puzzler.) Sorry, buddy, but I'm going to move on to other discussions here on the Ledge for more satisfaction and less bizarre back-and-forth.

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. |

I have to admit, when I didn't see Beethoven after his initial dismantling a couple days ago, I quickly double-checked to make sure the post I was reading was by THE David and not some new guy named Dav1d or something lol.

My view is that we can glean an idea of Buckingham's critical reputation by directly reading the important critics from the start of his solo career to the present. Is there something about that approach that you consider indeterminate or not useful for describing the guy's reputation—especially in relation to the solo work of his bandmates? As far as I can see, these sites you linked to are all data mining sites: They sift through a huge number of commercial and noncommercial data and compile databases, extrapolating numerical scores based on statistics or averages or some other formula that users of the site can then use to make purchases. These sites have nothing to do with professional criticism or music journalism. They're marketing sites, and I have a feeling, from what I was able to read, that they mine from visitors to the site and from site account holders. You pay your money, and you get to create your own 'chart.' Quote:

Christ, dude, this kind of adulatory language is all over the landscape since 1981 for Lindsey's solo albums and gigs. Lindsey being a critics' pet isn't a new idea. It's been commonly accepted for decades. Can't you do your own leg work? Data mining? Seriously? Quote:
I'll let you carry on with this topic with others. I'm not enjoying the contrarian perversity, and that's all you keep giving me. You remind me more than ever of a guy named Jonathan Todd. I don't know whether you've heard of him, but your online persona is exactly like his was—he made vacuous arguments and used non sequiturs, willfull misunderstandings, perverse assumptions about words (highly individual, shall we say?), and backtracking, moving the goal posts up and back until his opponent didn't know what game was being played. Do you know him?

I think Lindsey's songwriting prowess has got better as he's matured and helped create a family. I love Law And Order and Go Insane but the material from Under The Skin, Gift Of Screws, Seeds We Sow and Buckingham/McVie reach deeper on a lyrical level. At the same time, his gift as a guitarist and producer has taken more "simple" lyrics and pushed them to a deeper level as well. End Of Time is pretty straight forward lyrically but (and I'm referring to the superior Amazon exclusive instrumental version) Lindsey's playing and production pushes it way over the top. I will say this though, Lindsey could never write a lyric like "the forgotten chimpanzee".

Roll over Beethoven, indeed! "Not Too Late" by David Reading the forums Saw a review Said I was esoteric But nobody knew Now that's been a problem Being oddly perceived Like I go around whistling Beethoven's Fifth What am I doing, anyway Changing my avatar It's not too late Now I'm not a cool man Like the dude in my sig But I feel there's no room for An intellectual prig And there's a need For songs that are sung For Ledge posts not posted For puns not yet punned What am I doing, anyway Changing my avatar It's not too late My Ledgies look away They don't know my new face That's exactly the impression I keep coming away with.
