I love What's The World Coming To! I think if he had played it safer, more in WTWCT mode, that SYW would've been more successful(Pardon my morphing from RD to SYW thread).
Richard and Ken could've helped, but ultimately it boils down to what vision(murky now, imo) Lindsey has.
I agree. I love the slice of powerpop they opened SYW with. I assume at their level of success, there is no one around to "edit" their self-indulgent impulses, hence an 18 track cd!! and I may be alone in this, but after about 5 years of the acoustic Big Love, I much prefer the 3 minute full -band 80's version. We ALL know he can finger-pick a guitar like no one's business. enough already!
