I certainly don't blame you for thinking that. Just the other day I was driving a friend somewhere and I had UTS on in the car, and he basically said the same thing. Though he liked the acoustic atmosphere, the intimateness and Lindsey's guitar work, his voice annoyed him too much to give an objective opinion on the rest of the album.

I have to admit, I don't even notice it anymore. Like many people here, I didn't really like Shut Us Down at first listen, but that song grew on me and is now one of my favorites. Like with all acquired tastes, it takes some getting used to.

That said, I do have to say that I Am Waiting, Try For the Sun and Down on Rodeo are my favorite tracks on the album. Maybe that has to do with the fact that he actually does some singing on that instead of whispering, but especially IAW and TFtS are songs where the change in pace and octaves are what draw me to them. I prefer songs that have some variety, that can sweep me up and drop me down again. That's why Tango in the Night and Street of Dreams are my favorite songs of Lindsey ever. Songs like the title track and Cast Away Dreams, though beautiful songs, their monotony gets on my nerves after too many listens.
