Go Insane is a very good album, so is CM and WH. I'm glad I have these gems.

WH and Christine's album are very good. And we wouldn't have gotten "One in a Million" on a Fleetwood Mac album Lindsey was producing. So, I'm glad to have that. "Ask Anybody" is another gem. And "Smile I Live For"( which might have appeared on a Mac album, had there been one in 1984) is great right where it is.

I'm just not entirely convinced about Go Insane. It's professional. It's slick. It's well-executed. But it just doesn't spark for me. It's a nervous, neurotic record.

This thread inspired me to revisit it and I was blown away at how it sounds a lot like modern indie rock. I hear bands that sound eerily similar to that album, especially side 2.

I'm just sayin.. of course the voicings are going to be 80's. But, the arrangement AND running order of the album. The concept of what exactly was going on with his life and his insane need to stay in a relationship. Dennis Wilson, and his Danny Elfman like sound effects. I personally think the nailed it. And it's a clear departure from Law and Order.

He plays and sounds connected to it. It's not a bunch of songs. I love it.
And Tony, we finally disagree on something. Thank God!

We agree where it counts! All hail Christine!

Though, as I recall, I LOVE Temporary One and you don’t. Another argument for another time

No freedom in the mouth... so I don't like it.

“Your jam it tastes the sweetest to me”—yes folks: a 73 year old woman wrote and sang those lines.

I've never gotten into Go Insane. I had walked away from the band for a couple years when it came out. I own it, of course, but.... meh...I FAR prefer Law and Order. Hands down.

Amen. L and O is so dear to me and so special. It has character.

It's f*cking freaky deaky! So f*cking WEIRD. 100X weirder than Tusk. I love every f*cking note on it. The greatest thing Lindsey ever put out.


Welllll.... it's....a.... long, long time.......
