True, but for Tango and BTM I think she gets a pass. TOSOTM was equally bad, and we all know why - she was tranqued.
The songs on SYW are great songs from a writing perspective, but they sound sterile, technological and cold, and I'd say it's a Lindsey, er, I mean a production issue, entirely. Not to pick on Lindsey, but his songs sound the same to me - cold and metallic. Steal Your Heart Away is the only one with any blood in it.
In contrast, Fleetwood Mac albums up through 1982 have some soul. The songs sound like they have life and blood flowing through them.
