Points well taken. But how could an album sound cohesive if one third of the songs have a different production process/style? I agree that Lindsey's current approach relies too much
on technology that results in digital muckery (great term!). The sound is more sharp and steely, lacking a certain depth and warmth.

Prior to Tango in the Night, Lindsey had a much more organic, sensitive touch that served Stevie's songs very well. Let's no forget that his exemplary production work on Stevie's songs earned her the credibility to launch her solo career. His work on Say You Will revealed a substantial change in his production style, exposing how insular he has become.

I would hope that Christine's influence has provided crucial counter-balance. If Lindsey's ego can handle having a co-producer, I think everything will even out. If they choose a co-producer that Stevie gels with, even better!
