I’m intrigued- what do you mean by more compact and an actual album?

There are so many clunkers on this album. The opening track makes me want to shut it off. Unllike Tusk, I have a very hard time getting thru it. It's just sloppy with too many un crystaline visions.

Ah, I see. That sounds almost exactly how I used to feel about Tusk, though. I thought there were too many slow songs and loud songs- Never Forget, Over and Over, Never Make Me Cry, Storms, and Beautiful Child seemed so slow, almost plodding to me, while the Ledge, Walk a Thin Line, and Not That Funny were so loud. Now, I love most of Tusk, but back then it was a no. I’m thinking maybe just like Tusk may have been ahead of it’s time, SYW was, too.

Quote:
Mirage is also almost entirely devoid of minor key tracks, but because the songs are more benign in content there is no unsettling juxtaposition like in Tusk. It does however take the edge off the album. Straight Back is its only minor key track. The two Lindsey era albums with the most even balance of major and minor tracks are -- you guessed it, the ones that sold best: Rumours and Tango. And of these, the Rumours track listing has nearly every minor key song on the B side, easing the listener in then taking them on a journey into darkness. Tango reverses this by starting off dark and ending with more major key tunes, perhaps hinting at the passage of night into dawn. What information do we have about how the Rumours track ordering was decided (ie who decided it)?

Hasn’t Stevie always taken the credit for sequencing Rumours?

I think it's first time I read this qualification in Tusk. What songs do you consider are angry?

I think you could say that WMYTYTOne and The Ledge are angry, and maybe I Know I'm Not Wrong.

WATL I would put in the melancholic group, though it becomes more benign in the pacier version on The Visitor.
