Under the Skin was a pretty disappointing album for me. My favorite Lindsey trait is his ability to craft pop-music that is timeless, but is constructed in not obvious ways. His live show in support of the album was first rate, though. Some of the songs that are being tossed around here are better to these ears, than most anything on Under the Skin. Outside of Down on Rodeo and Somebody's Gotta Change Your Mind, most of Under the Skin is undermined by breathy, manipulated noises that are passed off as vocals.
