Thats a pretty good tracklist but please, not the "wall of sound" version of Thrown Down... To me it strips everything great out of a beautiful song and replaces it with horrible, anodyne, unsubtle overproduction... Thank god Lord-Alge didn't get the chance to ruin any more songs!

I think that it's an almost perfect album creatively, from that perspective I disagree completely that it has flow issues or that it was overlong. However commercially it was definitely too much for the general buyer.

Personally I'm glad that they gave us something truly special, a record that I never ever get tired of listening to, rather than taking the easy option and putting out the 12 most commercial cuts.

Roll on the next Fleetwood Mac album!
