At the time OOTC was released, I think Lindsey said that on FM his songs had to be counters to Stevie and Chris in FM, so he never got to fully express all parts of his personality. Instead, he was focused on trying to be something counter to what they were in FM and, perhaps, deliberately radical. He described OOTC as the first album where he could integrate all aspects of himself, including the parts that might overlap with Christine or Stevie.
