Another 4-star review for Buckingham McVie!
 

Just seen this review in Uncut magazine - first time posting an image, so I hope this works! It's an 'easy, uplifting listen', apparently...

(Actually 8 out of 10, not 4 stars, but you get the idea. He likes it...)

Wow! What a great review. Songbird II... I think not... No wonder it went south. You can never re-do Songbird. It's just Songbird.

Can't wait to hear the album closer. The one he says is the best track.

I can fly again! What a great line for her life. :angel:

"Looking at Picasso or something"

I love this man

Very nice, happy for them!

Thanks for sharing the review Tango, worked perfectly!

How did Uncut rate the last two Stevie releases?

ETA: 7/10 for 24 Karat Gold (which they prefer, at least in that review, to In Your Dreams).
ETA 2.0:

6/10 for IYD
8/10 for SWS
10/10 for UTS
8/10 for SYW

They gave that thing 7 out of 10!!! My goodness..

Nice review! It seems that the album clunker will be Game of Pretend, but who knows. I didn't see where he wrote that Carnival Begin is the best track?

Most intriguing track.... which the way he described it equated to the best, in my world. (pun 1/2 intended)

Very cool for them to get a nice review. Made me very happy.

Well, if they gave that thing 7 out of 10 I'm now wondering about that 8 out of 10. *Happy thoughts, happy thoughts.* :)

Well, he's the lunatic who invented Tusk. :blob1:

I Can't Wait......wait......wait.......wait......wait........

We wonder how many more hours our hearts will be broken!!!

lolol

You...crack ..me..up!

I used to play the extended version of I can't Wait so much so...that my mom would yell at me.

I'm glad it got a very positive review. I wonder what Christine's "Too Far Gone" sounds like. No one has mentioned it yet. Very cool that "Carnival Begin" got a shout out.

Christine says in the micro-interview below that three or four of LB's tracks were completed before she returned, so maybe there's one LB track where we can hear her?

I'm imagining Too Far Gone is very retro bluesy sounding.

Cute. Very cute.

I'm so excited to hear this album.

The way he described Lay Down for Free sounds promising.

It'll be one in a million. Ask anybody.

90 percent of it sounds promising. Miss Attention might not have dodged a bullet after all.

Thank you!

I'm really happy they have given it a full-page, too. It seems to me that it is being treated as if it were a new Mac release.

Graeme Thomson, the reviewer, is a good writer - he wrote the only decent biography of Kate Bush, 'Under The Ivy'.

She never did it. That's what her fans want to believe.

I don't think her body/mind can handle any more of those bullets.

According to Uncut:

Under the Skin > Say You Will = Seeds We Sow = Buckingham/McVie > 24 Karat Gold > In Your Dreams

7/10 for 24 Karat Gold
6/10 for IYD
8/10 for SWS
10/10 for UTS
8/10 for SYW


Note: couldn't find reviews/ratings for Gift of Screws or In the Meantime or Trouble in Shangri La

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

You cracked me up this morning. You are doing your research!

It's true! What a pointless exercise! :lol:

I actually enjoyed IYD. Her voice isn't as bad and the album gets better as it goes along. . But 24K.. egads... :eek:

I love them both equally. :lol:

Hmmm... how to rank 21st Century Mac?!

1. Say You Will - 10/10
2. In Your Dreams - 9/10
3. 24 Karat Gold - 9/10
4. Gift of Screws - 9/10
5. Under the Skin - 9/10
6. Seeds We Sow - 8.5/10
7. In the Meantime - 8/10
8. Trouble in Shangri La - 8/10

Where will B/M fall?

Should I rank EP for a round top 10?

Sure!! I respect your opinion... let it all hang out!! lol

Ranking 21st Century Mac:

1. Say You Will - 10/10
2. In Your Dreams - 9/10
3. 24 Karat Gold - 9/10
4. Gift of Screws - 9/10
5. Under the Skin - 9/10
6. EP - 9/10
7. Seeds We Sow - 8.5/10
8. In the Meantime - 8/10
9. Trouble in Shangri La - 8/10

Where will B/M fall?

You give In the Meantime a higher rating or I'll suspend you for a week!! :lol::lol::lol:

SYW is still growing on me. I just need to take some tracks off of it. It's over cooked.

SYW blows goats. It'll grow on you like cancer! I like about 5-6 songs, and the rest suck, and just don't sound like FM. BTM and Time are both better albums than SYW!

Well look what the wind blew in.

For me, it's:

Seeds We Sow - 9.5
Say You Will - 9.0
Gift of Screws - 8.5
24 Karat Gold - 8.5
In Your Dreams - 8.0
In the Meantime - 7.5
Under the Skin - 7.0
Extended Play - 6.0
Trouble in Shangri La - 4.0

It's hilarious but I was thinking of starting a best mac related releases of the 21st century thread, but I was gonna wait until after BM was released. But for right now I'd go:



In Your Dreams 9/10
Gift of Screws 8.5/10
Say You Will 8.5/10
24 KG 8/10 (some of the highest highs tho just not nearly as consistent as above)
Seeds We Sow 7.5/10
Under the Skin 7/10
In the Meantime 6.5/10
Trouble in Shangri La 6/10
Extended Play 3/10 I really wish was never made. The three lindsey songs would've been released eventually and there's just no reason for Without Yous existence!

Also if the original gift of screws from around 99/00 was released as is that would be At the top of the list at 10/10. Also guaranteed that if they allowed Christine involvement and her best in the meantime tracks were included amongst the best of say you will and smile at you had ****img piano in it! Then say you will would've rivaled Tusk as one of the greatest masterpiece ever made at an 11/10, but my list had to reflect reality.

I'm surprised everyone is ranking Trouble in Shangri-La so low. It's one of my favorite albums. I think it's on par with Bella Donna and The Wild Heart.
