Rather than being totally off-balanced and somewhat alienating to the average listener, musically.
I think that's also the quality in 'Out Of The Cradle' that so many of us respond to... it's the perfecting of all of the best aspects of both approaches.
Having said that, 'Tusk' is a fabulous album with a lot of spirit and great music, and definitely deserves a lot of praise.

While I agree that SYW is a nice marriage of that, I think LB just went too far with that computerized gimmicky voice stuff. Conversely, on Tusk, it is all emotion and raw at that. But - to each their own
