Skin is characterized by drumlessness, intricate acoustic finger-picking, clearly autobiographical neuroticism, and no particular desperation to carve out any sort of radio hit — all of which add up to a surprisingly compelling (if decidedly left-of-center) new album." how would you interpret the bold words in this context?
It doesn't seem so subtle to me. The reviewer thinks Lindsey has a created the kind of music that he wanted and the reviewer finds that left-of-center (e.g. the opposite of mainstream.)

How's that?
