![]() I think Say You Will might be my favorite Fleetwood Mac CD. It's weird because I wouldn't have thought it would be, I actually dreaded even listening to it thinking I would hate it so much.
I have been listening to it non-stop lately. Even with Christine gone I think it works. Songs I didn't like at first I have grown to absolutely love. I think it's completely crazy that I think this though! There's no real Christine. There's not as many harmonies, just echoing each other (as someone mentioned before). I don't like the last 2 songs. It took me a long time to like a lot of the songs. Yet I love this CD. I love their matured voices. I love the order of the songs. I love that it is so different then anything they have done before, IMO. Anyone else feel this way, or am I the only one? ![]() |

![]() best album of all time? Certainly not.
![]() I do applaud the band for getting back together. At that time I was elated they were making another studio record. When I heard Christine was out... I was skeptical. I still like Say You Will, but it's so convoluted and... messy. I almost wish they had just released it as the 2-CD album it was originally envisioned. It's a hot mess, and I think they were attempting to do a Tusk Redux in some ways...but comes nowhere near the brilliance of Tusk. I think Tango in the Night, Rumours, Tusk, The Dance, the White album, and possibly Mirage are all superior to Say You Will.

![]() I would definitely agree that The Dance is superior, but Mirage? ![]() I'm sure there are many who feel the same way. Not sure why I love it so much, maybe it's just a phase ![]() |

![]() love SYW, although i'd drop almost all stevie's songs and say goodbye, and WTWCT... no wonder almost none of the stevie fans like it!
![]() i'd rate SYW together with Tusk, and way ahead of Mirage and Tango. but i'd still like better original GOS... EDIT: The Dance doesn't count - it's the live album, like LiB |

![]() To be honest, I tend to forget that this album exists!
![]() Without Christine, it just doesn't quite intrigue me. I don't really care for Stevie's "new" voice that seemed to emerge after the Dance. In general, Lindsey's songs are never my favorite. I feel it was important that the album was made, i.e. that FM went on despite Christine's absence. Does that make sense? ![]() I'll check the songs more closely on Youtube, though. |

Thrown Down I think is the true gem of Say You Will... the rest I'm in a love/hate relationship with. BullSh*t! It had new songs on it. ![]()

The only reason I might count The Dance is because of Temporary One and Sweet Girl and I love those songs! Quote:

![]() I really do love some of the songs on SYW... but I just don't think it's a great album. The absolute polarity of Lindsey & Stevie on Tusk was balanced out by the bridge that was Christine. SYW is like Tusk, only minus the bridge. So it comes across as combative & schizophrenic. Stevie definitely brought her best material to the table since Mirage (yes, I'm counting Behind The Mask). But it just had no relation or commonality to Lindsey's material. I think this stepping stone was one that was necessary to happen, though. I think Stevie & Lindsey needed to trip, fall, and bloody themselves up. And hopefully they'll be better for it on the next album. And I truly do think there will be one more 'next album.'

![]() Thrown Down, along with Illume, Say You Will and Destiny Rules were my favorite off the CD when I first heard it. Gypsy is an amazing song but they only one I really love off Mirage, which is why I would rank SYW above it. Last edited by caroline79; 05-26-2011 at 10:17 PM.. |

![]() I love most of SYW. The only tracks I skip are Silver Girl, Say Goodbye & Goodbye Baby. But the two bonus tracks make up for those in my eyes.
