gerald's first thoughts...CD in my hands....

[shackin'up]

And Again Lindsey scares the heck out of the listeners. Including his biggest fans. I listened to it completely without skipping in the store and was all quiet inside afterwards. Everything sticks together on this album. It's lightness is just superficial. This is such a reflective album. His tormented soul is still everywhere without screaming out, the unbearable lightness of being. Now I understand the title. This is a record that comes from under the skin, but it stays there. It's creepy and sunny at the same time. Trembling air due to extreme heat. I'm blown away by it but can't say how I'd rank it. This is a totally new Lindsey Buckingham although we all know him too. The CD is playing now and the flow of this album is so strong that one cannot receive it as a collection of songs. Everything is glued together without seeing transitions: these songs need eachother. I love the fact that Lindsey AGAIN puzzles me bigtime and that there are incredible gems on this record, but now I'm just impressed with the thing as a whole. I don't know if I'm happy with it. I'm still too quiet inside. I think I'll have some thinking to do about my own life.
