I purchased "Suspension of Disbelief" not more than ten minutes ago... and it was a decision that wasn't difficult after hearing him perform live for about an hour. I got off the subway tonight at Dundas Square in Toronto and, while walking up the street, I was so completely gripped by the singing coming from the square, that I abandoned my rush home to see what everyone was gathering to watch. It was Lindy... and with each song, I got these incredibly intense chills down my spine. His voice, his vocals, his solo work with the acoustic guitar almost brought me to tears. Bikers, families, people on rollerblades, punks -- more and more people of various circles converged on the square as passers-by were unable to ignore his amazing sound. The only critique I would give... when he performs live, he has a very raw, smokey sound that just heightens the intensity and gives you goosebumps. The CD doesn't reflect as much of that raw, strained sound that hooks you by the heart and stops you in your tracks. If you like the raw, melodic lullaby styles of bands like Coldplay, this is *definitely* a purchase you won't regret... and even if you don't, it's a sound that's impossible NOT to feel when it sinks into the pit of your stomach... like that nervous feeling when you're ascending in a rollercoaster... or the butterflies when you're in love. I spent the entire time standing at the performance, absolutely enamored and hoping I'd be able to find his CD. As luck would have it, they were selling them on the sidelines, so I quickly found an ATM and spent my grocery money on what will surely give me some very relaxing, very mellow nights to come.

I purchased this CD after a friend in Canada told me about it and sent me a link to listen to a few of the songs. I had actually heard "Beautifully Undone" on Degrassi but didn't make the connection until I heard it at the Orange Record Label's website. This is an unbelievably powerful CD, Lindy is a pleasantly original songwriter with amazing vocal range and his guitar work is awesome. I love every song on the CD, and the CD Rom is a great bonus feature... interviews and the video for "Witness" and other goodies on here. A must have for anyone who loves truly great music.

One of the best Canadian artists I've heard. He has a beautiful voice & a strong talent for song writing. My favorite tracks off the CD are Beautifully Undone (both orginal & remix), After All The Rain Falls, and Look At The Way The Wild Wind Blows. Beautifully Undone is one of the best songs of 2004/2005. Even if you don't want to spend the current price ($26 for 12 tracks!!), that's no reason not to listen to this CD. You can stream the entire CD on his website [...] for free.

One of the most powerful, beautiful CDs I've ever heard. Some of the songs bring me to tears ...Others are so overwhelming
I simply don't know what to do with myself. Lindy is a musical genius. His melodies, lyrics... everything is brilliant!

This entire album is amazing! Every song has a little different style and emotional feel to it. It is very versitile and definetly a cd you can pop in and want to listen to the whole way through! Seeing Lindy in concert heightened my experience even more! I ventured from Seattle up to canada to see it and am so happpy I did! He's an amazing show to see....what a talent!!! This cd is a must for all good music collections!

I love this CD. It is very rare that you can get a CD and listen all the way through it without skipping any song. I like every song on this CD and seldom find myself skipping one. The songs are beautiful and calming. It's a great CD to just lie down and listen to when you want to relax. Lindy has written spellbinding lyrics and magical melodies. This CD is by far one of the best I have ever heard. I love the songs "Beautifully Undone" and "On My Mind" whenever they come on I can't help but sing a long. BUY THIS CD!

This CD blows me away. Every song paints a picture and has a life of it's own. Lindy's vocals are incredible and his writing is stylish and original. There are some immediately catchy tunes on here as well as ones that take a few listens to really "get". Every possible emotion is experienced while listening to this CD. "Beautifully Undone" is the most amazing song ever written and performed in the history of songwriting and performance. "Dream" is one of those catchy songs you play over and over and over again until you wear it out. This guy is so frickin' talented it's scary! I've never been inspired to write a CD review in here before, but people HAVE to know about this guy and hear this CD. It's going to land on a lot of "Best CD of the year" lists.
