I also really like SAY YOU WILL. Although it did suffer by not having McVie, so the Mac chemistry wasn't quite there, I thought Buckingham did a great job producing and both his and Nicks's songs were high quality. Nicks definitely bounced back from the sub-par materials she'd submitted for TANGO and MASK. "Say You Will", "Thrown Down" and "Illume" are really excellent. "Everybody Finds Out" and "Destiny Rules" nearly so.
Buckingham did great with topical songs that really spoke the times: "Peacekeeper", "What's The World Coming To", "Murrow". "Steal Your Heart Away" is a gorgeous piece of ear candy, and the vocals on "Miranda" are rather amazing.
I think the band should have added a few more songs and gone for an actual double CD. They'd have been certified platinum if they had.
