SWS vs IYD article

[sushud82]

Thanks for sharing.

I was just thinking about this the other day because it has surprised me that I've been WAY more into IYD than SWS. I don't know if it was the timing - as in I was so hungry for new SN/LB that when Stevie's album dropped first I was ecstatic (the album didn't leave my car's CD player for 2 months)- or if I just am not as impressed by SWS as I wanted to be. I've listened to it many times but nothing really sticks with me...even after seeing him live. Which is weird because before the album was released I was really excited about it and listened to the new stuff from Saban a lot and loved it. I just don't have the urge to listen to it at all though I do get excited when IOOT comes on the radio - (anyone in Cleveland - 107.3 plays it almost daily).

I listened the crap (?) out of UTS and GoS so I know its not just a matter of SN v. LB for me. I generally prefer LBs sound.

I've always been a flip-flopper between SN and LB. I disagree with most of the article and as others have said you really can't compare SN and LB solo work. Yes, yes I roll my eyes at "Cheaper Than Free" as well but its not like all of LBs lyrics are Pulitzer-worthy either (see "It Was You").

Anyway, going to see him again in Cleveland and possibly Newark so maybe that will spark my interest in SWS again.
