Bingo! Gord captured in two words what I've felt since 1993. Yes, it's a great album, but I could tell that he was cutting corners ($). I thought it was strange, because it had been a long time between 1986, East of Midnight, and WFY, Gord's Gold II notwithstanding. I figured he'd spend more money on production. But the sparseness led to a version of Restless that would've been ruined by extra instrumentation. It's perfect. So maybe it was a blessing in the end. But Gord feels differently, so I think we should respect his opinion.
