I still find myself listening to SWS a heck of lot. If I had to rank Lindsey's solo studio albums in order of preference, it would probably be OOTC, then SWS, then GOS, then L&O, then UTS, then GI.

Though I'm sure many would label me a chiffonhead, I'm a HUGE connoisseur of Lindsey's solo career as well. Honestly, the last truly "out there" album Lindsey made was Go Insane. All his work since has it's share of sonic experimentation for sure, but is nowhere near as esoteric as his first 2 albums. I would even argue Say You Will has edgier material on it than some of Lindsey's 21st century solo albums. I don't think this amounts to Lindsey selling his soul at all. I just truly think his music isn't so manic these days because he is finally secure with himself as an artist, and that manifests itself in his music.
