To be honest though, I didn't get the sense that Lindsey was that fond of the album himself, in retrospect. No matter what he felt 10 years ago.

i remember thinking how he's not hyping up that SG is from SYW. and then he said it - it's from SYW. and then i thought - see he said it and even *i* didn't react.

i don't know. there were maybe couple of reviews this year that were questioning why is he is talking up Tusk so much and what does he still have to prove.

so in regards to SYW - a) would have been so much better album if it was original GOS1 instead, and b) maybe he just gave up that fight after all the sh*t he had to hear from some of his bandmates after it. the fact they were doing SG on this tour gives me some hope that he didn't give up on that album altogether. but i don't see next FM album being anything like it. same as he said he wouldn't produce [alone] an FM album anymore. life is short; seems he decided to pick his battles and make sure to also enjoy the ride.

that still doesn't make me any less unhappy that he's not hyping up those songs that ended up on SYW more. and it made me happy he was doing Come and BTLH last year. they were certainly among the highlights of that setlist.
