Sep 5, 2011A grand return to form after the somewhat disappointing "Under The Skin", which was a bit to stripped-down for my taste. This is Lindsey at his best, with full arrangements, sweet melodies and classic clever lyrics. Besides this being the album of the year, I also rate "Did You Miss Me" single of the year.

ChuckUSep 17, 2008An excellent follow up to Under the Skin. Lindsey will never be a huge solo star because his music is too quirky for the average listener. This album rocks harder than Under the Skin but still is rooted in the amazing guitar style that he has been perfecting over the years. Smart, offbeat, literate pop by one of music's true geniuses.

Gift of Screws is a standout even in his catalog.

Gift of Screws is only his fifth solo record. Perhaps that's why the singer and guitarist (who turns 60 next month) still sounds so vital and passionate, especially on the voluptuous, opening songs 'Great Day' and 'Time Precious Time,' where his luminescent riffs and nimble finger-picking shine.

Buckingham remains the master of type A chamber pop.
