I've been listening to the album again lately and I'd forgotten just how good it is. So many of the songs and so catchy - Sleeping Around the Corner, Feel About You, Red Sun, Lay Down for Free...the epic closer Carnival Begin!
This album to me is better than Say You Will and although it's not the ending I'd hoped for (like many of us I held out hope until the last moment that Stevie would be involved), it is still a great ending.
What do you think?

I think it's pleasant but that's about it. Honestly I was hoping for more. I think a Mac album really needs both Buckingham and Nicks, there's just something about their formidable talents - especially put together with that tension. Of the 4 albums since TANGO, I think only SAY YOU WILL comes close to matching the quality of the classic albums. BEHIND THE MASK fails without Buckingham, and BUCKINGHAM MCVIE fails without Nicks, and TIME, well I think that kind of fails in general.
