Yes but they are just few songs. I don't understand why they don't release more The Dance songs on YT in HD.

Because they've always sucked at business. They even hired that idiot drummer as their manager once!

The alternative would have been exponentially worse. They recorded Fleetwood Mac, Rumours, and Tusk under Mick’s tutelage. I doubt the last two could have been made if Stevie and Irving had been pulling the strings. Fleetwood Mac really hasn’t had a masterpiece since Tusk.

I think definitely on reflection, it feels like L+S both came back to re-route their own solo careers. LB for Gift of Screws and S post Street Angel. At the time I really bought the idea they were selling that the band were a band again and it would start a new chapters of albums and cohesiveness. But alas...it's still gutting to think of what they could have recorded and done in this time.
But I agree, if it didn't happen I don't think the alternative would have been good. Also my view on Say You Will has changed too. I wish Lindsey was a bit more fluid about the whole thing, in the documentary when I watch it now, he just seems very unmovable re: the mix/production/track listing. I hate it but I sort of get why Stevie didn't want to work in that atmosphere again. Maybe Christine would have helped but then again when she did come back, it sounded like she was more than happy to give up creative control of her demos, which Stevie wasn't. So inclusion - I'm happy that both The Dance and SYW exist because even those were on a knife edge and one off's. |

I'm thankful for every record they made, so I'm glad the band did this one. It gave them more opportunities to put out more records, both as a band and solo, even though it was just a "temporary one" as far as the popular lineup was concerned.
And yes, I like the "Say You Will" album. Though I did not think it would be their final album when it came out. But neither did I think Stevie would not create a follow-up to "24 Karat Gold" from its release until today (summer '24). Yet, there was a lot of other stuff happening in the past 10 years. Both the comeback through a short Tiktok video and the lockdown from the global health crisis only 4 years ago were not thinkable when these albums came out. Neither was these artists selling off their publishing. Yet, that's how the world was turning. When "The Dance" came out, the music world was a world of abundance. And you can hear it in its rich arrangements. Nowadays, the lack of income that artists get when you compare what they can make from the sales of yesteryear to the clicks from Spotify unfortunately leaves much to be desired. |

It was the reunions decade. It came out in the perfect moment. But that's history.
