Just listened to the whole album. Scratch what I said about production above. This narrative that the band sacrificed record sales to do something experimental now makes sense to me.

There is nothing even close to a "Go Your Own Way" "Dreams" or "You Make Loving Fun" among these songs. "Over & Over" is too slow to have been a hit. I'm amazed the album produced as many top-20 singles as it did.

"Not That Funny" may be the worst song on the album. Making a single of that song baffles me. As for the others, "Angel" sounds like the best choice to me.

But however it was produced, this album was not going to be a bigger success with this set of songs. It did as well as any album of theirs was going to do under the circumstances. Lindsey's experimentation cost them nothing.

"That's All For Everyone" is a masterpiece.
