I think you're right. He found himself in a band full of musical reactionaries, & his pipe dream of rewriting the Brian Wilson/Beach Boys history was dashed. (Lindsey says that Wilson's desire to try new styles of music marginalized him in his band, which ultimately stranded him.) I think that, for a short time at least, Lindsey had genuine confidence in Fleetwood Mac's future as an experimental band--a band that refused to follow the commercial dictates of the mass audience (always wanting more of the same), but in so doing, a band that would be able to reshape the audience's preferences, to actually improve the audience's taste & sense of adventure.

The frustration with the band that lead him to abandon the group fueled the best album of his career: Out Of The Cradle.

Oh my goodness, that's just wrong.
