Default If you don't get Not too late....

you don't get Tusk, and you don't get Lindsey,in my opinion. Lindsey so called fans should get the brilliance of that song. It is so Lindsey and So Tusk. When I heard it I said to myself "Lindsey is back", but the hate for that song boggles my mind.

Where in Tusk does he not sing, but speak lyrics that are cliche, painfully literal, and borderling egotistical? He also doesn't play an out of tune guitar on Tusk. Well that's notreally true. But it was more charming on Tusk.

I still like the song alright, but I respectfully disagree with the comparisons to Tusk

that's a kind of stupid thing to say. I love tusk but don't really like not too late and I don't think they are that similar. and I get Lindsey as much as others. that's a kind of arrogant thing to say really.

agreed...as it is an equally arrogant thing to say that Not Too Late doesn't match with what Lindsey's trying to achieve.

But I can get along with Tusker. Welcome, by the way. Tusk wasn't very good received, either. I say that NTL isn't crap, but heartfelt. Everybody else may say something different. Time will tell. Like with Tusk....

Welcome to the board tusker.

I 'get' not too late, I just don't particularly like it. It's my least favourite track on a CD I otherwise love and no amount of waxing lyrical about its qualities by anyone is going to make me like it more if it just doesn't quite grab me.

Presumptionism is fun!

If you don't like "When I See You Again", you don't get Rock A Little, and you don't get Stevie, in my opinion. Stevie's so called fans should get the brilliance of that song. It is so Stevie and Tango. When I heard it I said to myself "Stevie is back," but the hate for that song boggles my mind.

If you don't like "When You Say", you don't get Then Play On, and you don't get Danny Kirwan, in my opinion. Danny's so called fans should get the brilliance of that song. It is so Danny and so Then Play On. When I hard it I said to myself "Danny is back", but the hate for that song boggles my mind.

can i play?

if you don't like "bananaphone" you don't get "baby beluga," and you don't get raffi, in my opinion. raffi's so called fans should get the brilliance of that song. it is so raffi. when i heard it i said to myself "raffi is back" but the hate for that song boggles my mind.

just kidding, tusker ... welcome to the board, but you might want to try being a little less presumptuous ...

Some of us do think "When I See You Again" is pretty brilliant.

Can I be in this club? I don't like WTTRS or WISYA, but I love 'The Second Time' - is that wacky enough?

Funny, but I have to defend Tusker here. Your examples miss the point. Those songs have never been flagships for those two songwriters, and were definately not defining the musical approach they were going for at that moment. I understand the logic of Tuskers arrogant preassumption, because Lindsey uses NTL as a flagship for his so called "musical vision" of this new album. He did that with "Tusk" too.

Oh, I get it. I just don't like it.





I'm being facetious, of course. I really don't dislike the tune, it's just taken a while to grow on me & it's still not a huge favorite of mine. I don't skip it when it comes on or anything. Actually, I don't skip any of UTS, come to think of it....
