Also, I really got Stevie's reference to Tusk (song and album) as being a communal experience and a tribal thing of the tribe going to a sacred mountain, etc. I think that communal aspect is for good or bad missing on SYW. I mean although the songs were very different (esp. LB's songs), to me Tusk sounded like it had some common ground, theme, or feeling, which I think SYW does not have. Part of the reason for this could be that you can sort of hear it in that some of the songs on SYW sort of sound as if they were done at different times and then added to, and then tied together in one package as opposed to Tusk, which brilliantly sounds somewhat to me as if the songs sort of "suddenly" resulted from an all night, or, in the case of Tusk, year long, booze and pot smokin' hippie jam session
