Duet vs duo
i keep reading these comments, and not from casual fans or lay peeps, but from hardcore fans here who should know better! seriously people?? you thought this album was gonna be duets?? since when FM do duets? was BN a duet album?? or an album by a duo?
since the first time i read that one article that was titled LB and CM to release a duets album, i just knew general public will becompletely confused by that stupid title. and by LB's weird expressions (burning the bridges anyone?). but people here?? seriously?!?!?!? did you REALLY though you will get duets? what i still hope is that we will get a few songs like TAM or Hold Me where LB and CM trade lines. but did i think that was gonna be on EVERY song? when there are only 4 FM songs where they do that even though they have a few more cowrites? of course not! |
I think they only called it duets to point out the you know who was absent. You know, Fleetwood Mac without her is STILL Fleetwood Mac. :mad:

I wasn't expecting an album of all duets, but I did hope to hear a LOT more harmonies than what we've heard so far. So far, it seems we've heard two Lindsey solo tracks, and one Christine solo track. I'm getting the feeling this album will probably be just five Lindsey solo tracks and five Christine solo tracks slapped together to make an album. I was thinking we'd hear a lot more of them all over the chorus, with background vocals at least, on each other's songs. I'm pretty disappointed so far.

elle is right
still wish there was more Christine on the harmonies, though |

I actually don't remember them ever saying that this was going to be an album of duets, but a they did refer to it once or twice as a duet album (The body of work felt like it was meant to be a duet album.) which can have a different meaning; however I still think that Christine is scandalously underused at least in these songs we heard, maybe the rest of the album it's different but in that case choosing to release as first tracks that showcase Christine the least would be a criminally wrong marketing strategy.

They are a duo.... or at least that's the word that reflects their intention. The songs are most definitely NOT duets, based on the 3 we've heard so far. I'd go so far as to say they don't sound like they are a duo either-- a term that implies collaboration. And so far it all sounds very Lindsey solo album, musically and otherwise. I don't hear ANY musical influence of Christine at all. Her scribbling some lyrics to one of his musical tracks, even if she sings the lead vocal, is NOT hearing her influence/style. :mad: |

THANKS for stating that! I never got the sentiment that Lindsey and Christine were going to sing and be proliferate on each others' tracks. And was kind of puzzled as to why so many people were bummed that Chris wasn't heard on Lindsey's song(s)? :shrug: |

That said - as somebody already called me on it - pot kettle in my case. At the time of SWS I thought SATC is way too light of a song for LB and that one sounds almost heavy compared to other 2 they released. |

I think Lindsey's songs could feature more definitive audible contributions from Christine. While I don't hate the songs, I don't love them, but they work well when played together.
