Obviously it’s easier to arrive to a compromise by choosing the less intense songs on the album. So Lindsey inevitably suffered. Most people obviously don’t want Stevie to do rave-ups like “Sisters Of The Moon” on stage or on the albums anymore, because they chose something that’s quite Gypsy-like. Not that I object, I love this just as much as “EFO” and “RTTG”.
Of course it does bother me that people dislike “Murrow” and “Red Rover” for instance. In songs like these there might be something that rubs the listener the wrong way. If something bothers me in a song, I just try to listen to it later with fresh ears and usually I get over the problem, if the song’s good itself. If you dislike something, you should at least try to see some value in the work the artist put into the song. Lindsey didn’t exactly create these in two hours or something.
