Lindsey vs. Stevie 2011 Grudge Match!

[Fannymac]

Stevie's music always has, and always will, outsell Lindsey's.
That said, I'm looking forward to both (but I'd listen to Stevie's first, just because I think there are going to be more surprises on it. I have a bad feeling that Lindsey's is just going to be more of the same).

But what IS "the same" when it comes to Lindsey?

If it's "more of the same" as in "more Gift Of Screws", it's more bloody fantastic music according to most Ledgies, in my experience

I agree w/ u. I just think that the insinuation was that all Lindsey sounds the same. None of this albums sound like each other to me.

^^ Definitely, definitely not. The closest you could say would be OOTC and GOS, and even then at a push.

Yes, actually I could see the criticism working the other way around, that a buyer liked one album and then got the follow up and was surprised and disappointed that it sounded nothing like the last one.

And I don't want to be a downer, but that was sort of my fear when I heard the word "acoustic" again, associated with the new album. After GOS I don't want something to be more like UTS. I loved UTS for its time, but I'm over it. NGBA.

I'm being redundant, but his approach to the "Big Love" thing on "Bel Air Rain" on GOS was really radical--for me, that's the song more than any other that captures the intensity (and sound) of his "Big Love" / "Go Insane" live versions. So maybe this time he means that when he says acoustic...?

At the very least there's hope that "acoustic" doesn't mean just one thing to Lindsey.
