I like the album a great deal. The only clunker for me is Stand On The Rock. It sounds very generic to me.

I agree, Stand On The Rock is so generic, so of course they had to include it in their tour set! I saw two shows on the Behind The Mask tour. While I applaud them for opening the show with a new song (In The Back Of My Mind), I found the opening to be a little pompus and overwrought -- with a big build-up for the pay-off of a middle-of-the-road song.
Stevie was a complete zombie during these shows. She didn't even bother to sing any of her new songs (the closest she came was when she sang Love Is Dangerous, which wasn't always included in the set. They only performed: In The Back Of My Mind Love Is Dangerous (sometimes) Save Me Stand On The Rock When The Sun Goes Down (dropped early on -- although the live version I have is really good!) I wish they would have performed: Freedom Affairs Of The Heart Hard Feelings Behind The Mask Skies The Limit

This is actually one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac albums. I love:
In the Back of My Mind Stand on the Rock Affairs of the Heart (LOVE this) Skies the Limit Save Me Love is Dangerous When the Sun Goes Down Freedom Worst: Ehh The Second Time I guess There really isn't a worse on this one for me. I love this album! |

Can anyone else confirm that? I would like to think/hope that is true, and more so, that the concert was bootlegged and it will eventually emerge. I would love to hear that song performed live. It's not her best song -- though it's tuneful, lively and fun. But I'm not a fan of a blatent rip off of an old tired cliche "It's better to have loved and lost..." Ehh! And the lyrics are clunky as hell.

I pretty much like every song on this record. My least favs are Stand on the Rock and Love is Dangerous.
Standouts are all of Christine's songs, In the Back of My Mind and When the Sun Goes Down The Second Time is probably one of my favorite songs ever done by them. Yes, the vocals are lifeless, as are all of her vocals on this record, but I still love it. I would love to hear it live. I think it would make an excellent show closer. |

Favorite: either Affairs or Hard Feelings
Least: Do You Know - just too slow for me |

My favourite track hands down is The Second Time. The only diminishing factor is that god-awful synthersizer during the bridge section but alas, it was a sign of the times. I'll never understand why this song has been so mercilessly flogged.
Second fave would be the title track, closely followed by Love Is Dangerous and Freedom. Worst song is probably Hard Feelings but basically anything Billy Burnette ever did made my stomach turn. He ought to be assassinated. I was fond of Rick though - he should have stuck around for Time - then perhaps it wouldn't have turned out to be the worst album ever recorded - not just by the Mac but by any artist. Completely and utterly atrocious. |

Fair enough guys - I'll take back the assassination request. Let's just say that I'm pleased he's no longer in the band.

Hello,
I havnt posted in a long while.But after reading Phil's comments i thought i must reply. Originally Posted by Phil View Post 'My favourite track hands down is The Second Time.

My fav tracks on BTM is In The Back Of My Mind & Behind The Mask(The demos are as good if not better than the tracks that i have listed) While On Time my favs are Winds Of Change & All Over Again. Im my opinion Time is a good album as was Behind The Mask. My ratings out of 10 would be BTM (7.5) Time (8) Say You Will (5) Fleetwood Mac would have been better if Rick Vito,Billy Burnette and Christine Mcvie were still in the band. Even though i like all eras of fleetwood mac i for one will not be buying a new FM album or going to see them on tour, if the same line up remains and if it becomes the LB love in show But if the Mick Fleetwood Band tour in the UK i would jump at the chance to see them live.

Best: absolutely Freedom
Worst: Behind The Mask, maybe In The Back Of My Mind But great songs are Affairs Of The Heart and Save Me too. This times are my favourite, why was I born in 1989, why in Czech.... :-( |
