Now I like almost all of it, there’s a couple of tracks I really love, and a couple I’m not so keen on….
But most were growers. And I like Albums that stretch over the years.

That album has grown on me too, but not enough. Not "meh", just like some songs but not enough to be close to my favorite songs. I enjoy far more BuckVie. And it has nothing to do with Stevie being in one and not being in the other. It's the sound, arrangements, songs, the sum of everything I guess.

I hate to say this..and I know I may be shot down but I am not that keen on BuckVie I don’t dislike it but I don’t love it..
And I don’t know why…..Wish I did.

I think it needs one or two hard-rock tracks to prevent it from being “adult contemporary.”

But the biggest issue I have with it is Lindsey’s decision to do ALL his vocals in that grating, self-conscious, atonal, breathy style he’s been overrelying on for many years. I wish the guy would just SING normally and stop trying to sound so fey and precious and whispery on every song. Do it sparingly.

That was my issue with it. His backup vocals on the verses of "Carnival Begin" are a bit creepy. And I HATED what he contributed to Christine's otherwise lovely and warm "Game of Pretend"--it ruined the song.

On his own songs, he refuses to belt. "On With the Show" is so good because you can hear the old Lindsey on it.

Still, I do love BuckVie. I only wish there were two more songs on it. 10 seems thin...

It's because BuckVie is a FUN album(like Mirage). SYW is dark. Too dark. Gee, what was missing from SYW? SUNSHINE.
