I feel the same way about that AND Surrender the Rain. Surrender the Rain is my most favorite song on that album.

Outstanding: Don't Look Down; Wrong; Countdown; All My Sorrows; Soul Drifter; This Is The Time; You Do Or You Don't; Street Of Dreams; Surrender The Rain; Turn It On;

Amazing: Doing What I Can; This Nearly Was Mine; Say You'll Meet Again.

The whole album is just amazing, I don't think I'll ever get enough of it.

Love it all, but Say We'll Meet Again....it's ok.

The entire album is incredible. I love every song on it apart from "All My Sorrows" which is still good, but is the only one that I couldn't listen to over and over again.

Outstanding songs: All of them, but if I had to pick my favs., they would be You Do Or You Don't, Doing What I Can, This Nearly Was Mine and Say We'll Meet Again. The latter is my favourite song on the album, followed closely by YDOYD.

Well I love the intro to STR, not the spoken one but the musical intro, I like to just put the first 19 seconds on repeat, but the actual song to me is a bit annoying. Oddly enough it used to be MY favorite song too.

Excellent: every single song

Well perhaps we`ll see that in the next spring. At least there is hope.

OOTC imo is his best solo effort. But a little less polishing would have been nice in retrospect. I`d like a rawer sound instead. Put that cheap Family-man-sound alike-synth off of Soul drifter and the song would gain a lot.
I think Surrender the rain borders on being a Schlager. Never liked it. To listen to All my sorrows demands a certain mood. It drags a bit. To my own surprise I like the Kingston trio original that Mari posted better. Normally I like Lindseys adaptions more than the originals.

My favourite always was You do or you don`t.

Overall OOTC is a great CD.

A friend of mine who was a FM and LB fan from 1987-1991 and then changed his musical taste listened to OOTC in a CD shop back in 92 but didn`t buy it. He said, that the album started good but after a few songs it got less exciting. I didn`t share that opinion but still it was interesting to hear from a non- biased listener.

But that's the point I agree on for more than 100%, lux. GOS would have been -will be?- his ultimate masterpiece.

Only to top with a batch of songs played straight from the heart, recorded almost live and later layered with extra vocals and guitars only. I love his one-man-vocalchoirs and guitarlayers so much that I would not like to miss them for the world. But hell, let him rock out with a band in the studio for the basictracks!

I like the lyrics to Wrong and I like the ending, but even so I guess I figure that's probably the weakest song as a whole on the album. I can understand the polish criticism, so I think that's partly why I do so like the ending to Wrong with it's ever so slightly more ragged guitar soloing, and also why I like that he included This Is The Time.

I actually really love his All My Sorrows. That high-pitched wavering note he hits on guitar in that one is perfect for the kind of calm grief expressed in the song and the singing.

I love this album to death and it's flawless. All My Sorrows is my least fave song, but that's saying pretty much nothing, as I adore it as well. I agree tho, it takes a certian mood sometimes.

Greatness (Ultimate faves): Don't Look Down, Countdown, Souldrifter, Surrender the Rain, Doing What I Can

Greatness Part Deux: Wrong, All My Sorrows, This Is The Time, You Do Or You Don't, Street Of Dreams, Turn It On, This Nearly Was Mine, Say You'll Meet Again

That's what I get for copying and pasting posts.

Say We'll Meet Again.

There.

This is the only solo CD of Lindsay's that I have & I really like it. I mostly listen to CDs as I'm going back & forth to work. The songs I skip are the songs I like least which are All My Sorrows & Street of Dreams. Other then them, I really like it. Love Lindsay's guitar work all through out.
