Actually, I don't skip any of UTS, come to think of it....

No, Not liking it does NOT equal being facetious. That was pointed at other arguments than not liking it. And you "get" UTS in my point of view. Not skipping is essential in this album....everything belongs together and sticks. It's not a pile of tunes, but a cohesive, chained album. Weird with all those covers and old material.

I apologize, I had a few in me when I wrote that post. I still am suprised when I hear that most of you don't like it. The first time I heard it, I was like "whoah this is going to be a great album". If he were to perform songs like UTS live, it would be boring IMO. The simple strumming wouldn't showcase his talent at all.

I also seem to love songs on Tusk that many of you put low on your list. Walk a Thin line and That's all for Everyone for example. Even Christines songs that many of you dislike, (Honey Hi, Warm Ways etc) I love. Maybe I have wierd tastes. I tend to go for the very melodic and intricate harmonies of FM. Anyway latah!

I'm sure I'm reading too much into it, but the implication here is that you view performances as just a place to showcase his fingerpicking. "Under The Skin" is a melodic, well written song, and "Not Too Late" just isn't. It's good for other reasons, but it has very little musical to offer, save for a few interesting arpeggios. If you're into the musical side of things, and not preoccupied by lyrical meanings and fancy guitar playing, you enjoy melodic, "boring" songs like "Under the Skin" live. Which is why this comment...

No, I meant I was being facetious when I said I didn't like it. Because I do like it, in reality. Just not as much of many of you, that's all.

As you should. As everybody should. Because they are gorgeous.

I like NTL. I just really don't like the way he says "reading the papahhhhh". I wish he would have redone that one phrase. The rest of the song is A-OK.

Not Too Late -- nice enough, but not the best on the album. The last section is pretty nice...
That Made Me Stronger -- get it off get it off get it off!! *presses skip button furiously*

Seems to happen a lot here.

Who doesn't like Honey Hi & Warm Ways? I've gotta kick some ass.

Awful songs. Both. I can`t stand them.

And comparing NTL with That made me stronger is so far from anything to me... You can like or dislike the approach of the song or of the album, but surely Lindsey does always have interesting or at least new ideas to offer whereas Stevies solo albums beg for exactly what was the reason for writing "That made me stronger". And that is a different songwriter who creats interesting songs and lets her add her vocals then.

There is nothing interesting about NTL, it is a whiney POS

I think it's rather presumptuous to claim you "get" Lindsey better than other people, unless you two are psychically connected somehow. But at least you qualified it as your opinion.

I find NTL somewhat tedious in parts lyrically. The "Now that's been a problem" lyric seems like a filler because he couldn't think of something better. That said, I like the mood he evokes with the melody, and I admire it stylistically. I just think the lyrics are not what they could be, and the vocal could be a bit stronger. But seeing as how I travelled hundreds of miles to see Lindsey multiple times and have in the past adored him to the point of obsession, I daresay I can call myself a fan in spite of my scandalous opinion.

I love that line!

I love it every time it plays, right after the song almost stops and starts up again with that. I really like how he sings it.

"Stung by Fleetwood Mac's recluctance to make another record, 57-year-old Buckingham made this solo album, his first in 14 years, in hotel rooms on their last tour. Spare arrangements, intimate ambiance, candid lyrical themes. A revelation. Standout track: Not Too Late."

I guess someone agrees with me! LOL!

That's not agreeing with you that's stating their favourite track.
