Default Gift of Screws vs. Seeds We Sow

This made for a fascinating thread topic (TISL vs. IYD) on the Stevie forum. Let's give it a try with Lindsey's most recents. I'm cutting She Smiled Sweetly so it's 10 v. 10. That gives SWS an edge

Great Day vs. Seeds We Sow
Time Precious Time vs. In Our Own Time
Did You Miss Me vs. Illumination
Wait for You vs. That's the Way Love Goes<---Tough choice
Love Runs Deeper vs. Stars Are Crazy
Bel Air Rain vs. When She Comes Down<---Tougher choice
The Right Place to Fade vs. Rock Away Blind
Gift of Screws vs. One Take
Underground vs. Gone Too Far
Treason vs. End of Time

GOS: 6
SWS: 2
Draw (for now): 2

Seeds We Sow is one his most cohesive collection of songs.

I found Gift of Screws to be very disjointed and there really wasn't enough new ground covered for it to sink in. Of all his albums, it is the least memorable for me.

Maybe in part, because I was so impressed with Under The Skin.

Great Day vs. Seeds We Sow
Time Precious Time vs. In Our Own Time<---Tough choice
Did You Miss Me vs. Illumination
Wait for You vs. That's the Way Love Goes
Love Runs Deeper vs. Stars Are Crazy
Bel Air Rain vs. When She Comes Down<---Easiest choice of the lot
The Right Place to Fade vs. Rock Away Blind
Gift of Screws vs. One Take
Underground vs. Gone Too Far
Treason vs. End of Time

I don't really get the point but I'll play anyway.

GOS - 4
SWS - 6

If they'd been lined up differently then GOS could have easily won. A lot of those songs are too difficult to compare.

Wait for You vs. That's the Way Love Goes - Agreed, this is hard!

So many draws. I think I'll need more time with these two albums to make a decisive choice lol.

I see how this works:

Great Day vs. Seeds We Sow
Time Precious Time vs. In Our Own Time
Did You Miss Me vs. Illumination (TIE)
Wait for You vs. That's the Way Love Goes
Love Runs Deeper vs. Stars Are Crazy
Bel Air Rain vs. When She Comes Down- Tie
The Right Place to Fade vs. Rock Away Blind
Gift of Screws vs. One Take (TIE)
Underground vs. Gone Too Far
Treason vs. End of Time

GOS- 4
SWS- 4
2 ties

Totally even split, which is funny though, because as a whole, I overwhelmingly prefer GOS.

Seconded.


Great Day vs. Seeds We Sow
Time Precious Time vs. In Our Own Time (But it's close)
Did You Miss Me vs. Illumination
Wait for You vs. That's the Way Love Goes Tie
Love Runs Deeper vs. Stars Are Crazy Tie
Bel Air Rain vs. When She Comes Down (Not close)
The Right Place to Fade vs. Rock Away Blind (RAB could have beaten just about everything else though)
Gift of Screws vs. One Take TIE
Underground vs. Gone Too Far
Treason vs. End of Time

GOS- 5
SWS- 2
3 ties

Although I don't think this is a fair representation as I like SWS better overall...

GOS seemed all over the place, to me too.

The only SWS songs that get the edge over their GOS counterparts are:

In Our Own Time
Gone Too Far
End Of Time

I'll let others "do the math".

As I said in the First Impressions thread, I do not like SWS better than GOS. The only song that I always skip on GOS is Time Precious Time. On SWS, I have to start playing it on Rock Away Blind. Weird because I have never had to start a CD in the middle. I do like That's the Way Love Goes though. Some of these songs sound strangely familiar, maybe because they are like GOS songs. But still, I like GOS better.
