I'll air the (unpopular?) opinion that Lindsey's golden ear for production has been somewhat tarnished for a while now. The echo effect combined with the vocal layering just didn't create a pleasing sonic space IMO. However, I give him major props for holding the artistic trump card of FM, as you said, and releasing the album he wanted without endless studio tinkering or concessions made to the record label. That, and the songs I had sonic qualms with cleaned up nicely onstage.

I'd argue UTS wasn't his best work and that some of the reviews I read seemed more in the vein of giving an oft-neglected, underrated visionary his due after all these years. Ditto for many reviews of Stevie's shows, although the praise certainly reads more forced in her case.

Love the up to date music reference btw.

It was clear to me what he meant - a handful of people were hailing UTS as a masterwork like another masterwork in LOTC. With all due respect to Mr. Strand's youthful countenance, having had a couple siblings in his age orbit who were reasonably sophisticated etc. makes me feel the release date of Joni's LP is pretty irrelevant in the comparison.

Leave it to you to destroy the hopes and dreams of this poor soul by ridiculing the well-woven (albeit meandering) discourse on Buckingham's latest effort.

See, this is what people are talking about. You have the right to say what you want. But, don't act surprised when people say this kind of thing drives people away

Note - I make no comment on the veracity of either party here. I comment solely on the antagonistic vibe of the post and the general comment made earlier by Markolas.

In the end, wouldn't it just be better to put Taken on ignore if he drives you that batty?

Then that is rather pathetic on your part. Are you deliberately anatagonistic with the intent of driving people away and with the knowledge to the point of being unsurprised when that goal is achieved Somehow, I doubt that.

But, and to the point, if not you, then others refuted that their and your actions drove people away. I submit that the referenced post is an example of how people could be turned off from here.

In the end, ignore is always the best option. Sadly, many, including me, rarely take that advice.

Actually, you responded to my statement "don't act surprised when people say this kind of thing drives people away" -- more than one person said it and you did not limit the response to Markolas

Keep your eye on the ball or the fur wrist restraints are coming out Missy

Hey you guys be careful because they're probably gonna put a lock on this thread & I don't want it to get locked.

I thought mark & paula were pals, & I thought justin & carrie were pals, so obviously the loading & server troubles I'm having with the whole board are worse than I thought.
