What does everyone else think?

Three other things:

1. This is a great album.
2. Boy did they pick the wrong songs for singles, and the wrong song for the title track.
3. Notwithstanding Lindsey's claim that starting with Mirage they wouldn't let him experiment, he sure does a lot of it here and on Tango.

Lindsey should have released his songs as original Gift of Screws, as intended. that amazing collection of songs is watered down by being sprinkled over several projects, with not all songs even being out yet. original GOS was a near masterpiece.
