S+L both felt the weight of expectation.

Lindsey felt the weight of their legacy and wanted to make them the oldies Radiohead.

Stevie tried to fill the void, writing 'Christine-like' songs that didn't land (SYW and ...Silver Girl).

As the result the album felt heavy

I detect only a faint hint of bergamot in “Steal Your Heart Away.”

Interesting, interesting . . . .

To me, it’s the engineering that makes the album cold and heavy. Imagine most of those songs with a Caillat and Dashut at the helm, as in days of old.
