I don't think Lindsey was completely successful with his songs for Tusk. None reaches the brilliance of Stevie's songs or the complexity of Christine's (see Brown Eyes and Honey Hi). But when you listen to the album as a whole, I think the songs become more essential to the sound of the album...many just don't stand out on their own. My favorites though are Tusk, What Makes You Think You're the One, and The Ledge, in that order.
