Hi Regina,
Great comments!!

Well, it's interesting...because I think Richard is still, first and foremost, a friend...and maybe not quite as objective as one would imagine. And, perhaps, as in a good many friendships--one person has a "lead" role and the other is a support. So, Lindsey may still be very much in control of the work--too much so, maybe.
That may be true on Law & Order and OOTC, but what about Go Insane? Richard didn't help him produce that album and I doubt that he had a special friendship with Gordon Fordyce
(a top name producer). I mean, I can see that Lindsey probably had the lead role in producing, but he still has to take guidance from his partner. I also don't see Richard as the type who would let friendship get in the way of his professional opinion. I'm probably wrong in that view, but I just wanted to share.
Besides, his objectivity couldn't have been way off in the final product. For instance, OOTC had excellent reviews by the critics. The fans just didn't know it was out there. I still think that marketing has always been a weak area and is probably to blame for poor sales.

Now...there's a good chance of the old, "Lindsey who?" when it comes out. Which is a shame...it really is.
Probably...but that's Lindsey. I think as fans, we probably tend to expect that anyway. He might actually surprise us this time
