As for UTS being on the level of the masterpieces I mentioned, I will never hold it that high. If you or anyone else wants to, who am I to keep you down

I would agree, sort of. It's not a masterpiece. Its not better than OOTC. It ranks 2nd on his solo albums, for me. It was a GOOD album. I look forward to his next album much more!

I don't think anybody but Jason used the word 'masterpiece'.

I really enjoy UTS. OOTC is too much gloss for me really.

I think Law & Order is my favorite of all, but seriously, all 4 albums are so unique.. I can't and don't want to compare them.

I equated the use of "great" to that. If the proponents of UTS did not mean that great = masterpiece, then so be it. I think, however, they did and you are grasping at straws dear

But, for the record and to placate you, I ask the following:

Who here thinks that UTS is a Masterpiece as opposed to being great. I think it is neither. Again, I love LB, but UTS was not my cup of tea.

i would say that it is somewhere in between for me. I freakin LOVE this album. Can drive around with it in the cd player for weeks.

Time will decide though if I appreciate it more or less but i would put it up as an artistic masterpiece, which def. means it won't translate well to everyone's ears.

It is SO Lindsey, heart and soul, experimental, unexpected.
I think his songcrafting has come a long way since Law and Order (which i love as well - Hot tub, Hot tub) so it is very hard to compare them all.

Now you're just putting words into my mouth, mister.

You know, this has become quite ridiculous. I posted that HERE ON THE LEDGE no one seemed to have come out of the woodwork even when Lindsey put out a great album, which was considered GREAT by the majority of the people HERE ON THE LEDGE. Which is exactly what we were talking about in the first place, the fact that not many people post anymore, and someone said it was because the band wasn't doing anything. My entire post was an answer to that particular statement and referred only to the members HERE ON THE LEDGE.

You start talking about masterpieces, 'people you know', sales, reviews and compare it to other so-called masterpieces. It was all quite irrelevant. I get that you didn't like UTS. What's the big deal here?

Do you presume every conversation relates to you and what you said and that it cannot be a general discussion?

But, you are correct, this is ridiculous.

Uhm, you started arguing with me about it in the first place. No?

Then others joined in and it became a conversation - presumably an inclusive one.
