He's exactly right - everything from the band's visual style to the overall sound of the band. Mid-1980 things took a slight turn to the left, right after the Richfield, OH shows the band just started to sound a little, well, different. Not in a bad way either, to me they started sounding more "pop" and less raw and dramatic as they had the previous few years.
I know that Lindsey's guitar sound changed dramatically. The homemade fuzz box that he had been using for over 5+ years with the band finally took a crap (used to be an article on The Penguin which explained it a little better) and he took a different approach to his guitar sound. In my opinion that changed the way the whole band sounded, and to this day, they haven't returned to that style.
Of course this post is worthless without some songs for comparison, so I'll work on getting a couple examples posted up for you!
