It says nothing about him or his finances at all just his taste for something more real sounding imo. If the guy was so strapped for cash I doubt he'd be going on the road for the third time in two years travelling by private plane.

I'm really curious what you will think of the album, jbrownjr. I think you'll definitely like it more than UTS.

I'm trying to stay away from reviews and such... I want a virgin listen... I went to the websight and didn't know it was gonna play a tune... so I listened to one tune...

Yes, he was so poor that he recorded Tusk in his bathroom, taped mics on the floor, and tapped the mikes cause he couldn't afford a mick. Your remarks are so dumb and prooving that you don't understand Lindsey's experiments, that I almost feel sorry for him that you don't hate his new album. I stop the discussion here, AJ. I can handle criticism and difference of taste, but I simply can't handle stupidity.

As for the recording sounds that sound unprofessional - LB is a perfectionist. So, it is unlikely those sounds are there by accident. Who knows, maybe he thought they were cool

I also think he wanted to do this record mostly on his own, which explains the home studio, which he likely took with him from the last house.

I love Tusk shack... and I love the vocals in the bathroom... Love Law and Order.. go Insane... Love him breaking glass and recording it....

I just don't want another UTS... I want more melodies... more structure.. more of his wonderful vocals (untainted)... warm harmonies... and some groove.... he's missing some groove most of all...

now i'm hopeful cos I heard a tune on his websight and quite liked the warmness of it.... we'll see...

GOS is my favorite Lindsey album.

Well, it's a good thing you've stopped talking then.

I understand EVERYONE who don't like UTS. I love it, but that's mainly because of the incredible unity and atmosphere of that album and the fact it is not a typical songcollection, but an album where every single song needs the one before and after to shine. And that's an incredible achievement.

I hope you like this one more, but I don't know if you'll find what you're looking for.

Didn't he do a lot of UTS on the road too? Some of the new album may have been recorded that way as well.

There's a couple of typically weird Lindsey tracks on there but overall it's a pretty melodic album, honestly, I have a good feeling you'll like it. And Gerald is right, you'll love Underground for sure.

see i don't mind a few weird tracks....

like Bwana opening Law and Order was incredible... then go to Trouble... then Mary Lee Jones...

I still think the most cohesive album he's done is Go Insane... it's about one concept... and it all ties together....
