It's easy to listen to a song we ALREADY love and adore, for the one millionth time... than it is to find an appreciation for something new that doesn't manage to live up to our expectations.
You tend to like things that are surprising to you... and that's cool. We all want to be surprised and impressed in some way. Stevie's material doesn't surprise you anymore, because... in my opinion... you've grown bored with her style. You want her to take left turns, and you seem frustrated that she doesn't... so your enthusiasm and interest in her music past a particular era in her career, has waned.

Smart ass.
What I meant was that the multiple years (and sometimes decades) between Lindsey's releases, highlights the contrast between the stylistic tones of his albums.
If he had released more albums during the in-between years, then the music may have seemed far less diverse overall.

Lindsey continues to thrill you
now, but I'd be interested in seeing how you still feel about him in another ten or twenty years, if he doesn't take any additional left-turns in his style or approach in a way that you find exciting or intriguing.

Well, that's why I keep the debates going, dissy... we have to have SOMETHING to talk about around here! But shhhh... that's just between you and me.
