I did have an attempt at proselytizing backfire though. I got so many copies of UTS when I bought concert tickets through Ticketmaster that I was giving them away. I had two people give them back to me because they hated his voice. I said, "But aside from his voice, did you like the music?" My boss said, "I couldn't HEAR the music, aside from his voice." This disappointed me, because my boss was a guitar player and I thought if anyone would appreciate UTS it was him. Lindsey lost himself a convert.

Overall, OOTC is probably the better album. But I love Show You How so much that it actually elevates the entire thing for me.

Sorry, but for me Out of the Cradle destroys Under the Skin, but I must say Down on Rodeo and Try for the Sun are really good songs.
