I happen to like both of SWS and SFSM, but I know a lot of die hard Lindsey fans aren't really into them because the sound is more main stream.

Wow, do fans really feel SWS sounds more mainstream? To my ears it's as idiosyncratic as anything he's done. If any of his recent solo albums sounds like an attempt to be commercial, it's GOS, in my opinion. And SFTSM, well, it was just a document of the tour.

I still find myself listening to SWS a heck of lot. If I had to rank Lindsey's solo studio albums in order of preference, it would probably be OOTC, then SWS, then GOS, then L&O, then UTS, then GI.
