Awful Lyrics - The Second Time, Affairs Of The Heart

Get Lindsey back ASAP! - Why?? With Rick and Billy there, there was plenty of talent to make up for Lindsey's absence. This is a lame portion of this poll.

Should've been a hit single - Save Me, Freedom, Behind The Mask, Love Is Dangerous

I like em, but nobody else does - Freedom, Do You Know, When The Sun Goes Down, When It Comes To Love, Hard Feelings

Much better peformed live - In The Back Of My Mind, that lead in to The Chain was just phenomenal!! I loved it!!

Overall least favorite -

Affairs Of The Heart

Awful Lyrics – Do You Know

Get Lindsey back ASAP! – Do You Know, Hard Feelings, Affairs of the Heart, Skies the Limit

Should've been a hit single – Freedom, When it Comes to Love

I like em, but nobody else does – Freedom, When the Sun Goes Down, When it Comes to Love

Much better performed live – In the Back of My Mind (hate it on the album, but worked well as set opener)

Overall least favorite – Do You Know

- Jake

Awful Lyrics - Stand on the Rock

Get Lindsey back ASAP! - With the same songs, Lindsey's producing ability/style would have help alot, particularly in creating that one hit single.

Should've been a hit single - both Save Me and Skies the Limit are just as good Christine hit singles as Hold Me and Little Lies.

I like em, but nobody else does - Affairs of the Heart; love the vocal and the very Stevie-esqe lyrics.

Much better performed live - none of them were better live, but just as good as the album version

Overall least favorite - In the Back of My Mind; too long and too strange!

Cut off the trippy ending and it's hardly over-long or strange at all. Not counting the freaky-ish backing vox...

I guess for me its more about the long intro. However, I do love the background vocals with Stevie echoing the verses and the vocal/tempo change with Christine taking lead.

Somehow, I don't really dig Christine's solo songs on Behind the Mask, much opposed to her duets with Billy which I love. So sacrilegiously for most of you on the forum, my least fave would be one of those.

[Heartboy]

I think Christines songs are the best thing about this album and that's saying alot because I adore Stevie, although the Stevie bashers can cram it!

Freedom is one of my favourites on BTM and one of the ones I generally like overall as well. Good tune!!

Awful Lyrics - "Stand On The Rock"

Get Lindsey back ASAP! - "Do You Know" .. it's really a pretty little song and I like it alright, but it probably makes me feel the absence of Lindsey the most

Should've been a hit single - "Freedom" .. always been such a catchy track for me .. loved it since I first heard it

In honor of "4th of July" here in the U.S., here is an enhanced version of "Freedom" for anyone who may have missed it (and who love the track like I do!):

I like em, but nobody else does - "Affairs of the Heart" .. seems a lot of people don't like this one

Much better performed live - I don't believe I've heard any of the songs performed live so "N/A"

Overall least favorite - [/QUOTE] "Hard Feelings" .. I'm tempted to add "Stand On The Rock" too, but it fares better than "Hard Feelings for me. What frustrates me about "SOTR" is that I love Rick Vito's style (as a guitarist/vocalist), but that song is very sub-par for me when compared to almost all of the other material I have heard from him.

Really, for me the only "flushable" song (if it even QUALIFIES as "song") is that gooey, steaming turd called "The Second Time"...the rest of the album varies from "Great" to "Very Good".
