by Lindsey Buckingham
Barnes & Noble link

Special note: this was reviewed using the 1981 vinyl release.

Much like his New Wave compatriot from Wisconsin, Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham set forth on the journey to Solo Career Town in 1981 with the release of Law and Order. To the surprise of absolutely no one, it wasn't an enormous success. You know, because there was another album out that was catching everyone's attentions. It didn't stop the album's second song "Trouble" from becoming his first Top Ten hit. When you finish spinning the album for the first time, it leaves you feeling something, mostly the feeling of "what the eff did I just listen to".
