I completely agree. I have loved recent Buckingham-produced music in spite of the many tracks, not because of them. As much as I love the 'Buckingham McVie' album, I wish I could hear a version of the songs with just their two voices, with nice crisp harmony.

LB embroiders small-scale pieces the way a craftsman might bejewel a pillbox. He makes highly-sophisticated miniatures.
By comparison, Danny Kirwan’s tunes sound spontaneous. LB’s production is largely successful, though there are misfires: on LB/CM the most blatantly unnecessary production moves are on “Game of Pretend.” That’s a beautiful song with great bones. The arrangement throughout should have stayed as plain and skeletal as it is in the verses. The thick Brian Wilson choral in the chorus sounds imposed upon the song rather than a necessary outgrowth of it. Conversely, the thick layering of vocals on “Love Is Here to Stay” provides the tune with a stunning dynamic shift. |

These are such red herring arguments about overdubs. It is how Lindsey builds songs, how he has always built them. Rumours era Fleetwood Mac is track upon track. Be it Go Your Own Way, Silver Springs, Sara, Gypsy, Hold Me, Everywhere, or Little Lies, it is what he does and is an intrical part to their defined and best known sound. It is his sound.
You don't have to like it, but you really don't know know this particular era of Fleetwood Mac without the layer upon layer of recorded sounds. For what it is worth the Eagles, particualrly Frey, with the full support of Henley, were studio rats when it came to production and obsessive overdubbers too. Of course Lindsey was the spawn of the King of tracking and overdubbing - Brian Wilson. |

Exactly. There's no such thing as too many overdubs, when we're talking Lindsey's world. I'm sure they don't all get used, but he can add different textures on different tracks, and choose which works the best, later. This ain't some pop punk band. Thank god.

If you listen to some of the “Alternative” tracks from the Box sets of Tusk and Mirage you can get a good sense of some of the songs that used less or more overdubs on the final released tracks. |

I'd be very interested in hearing a stripped back version of Feel About You as I think that might have benefited from a simpler sound. Ditto Game of Pretend, as Aleuzzi says.

All of those overdubs made that album sound so much better than “Fleetwood Mac,” “Rumours,” or “Tusk,” which were 24 tracks.

She has destroyed any proper Fleetwood Mac creativity since Say You Will and it's still infuriating. Lindsey mentioning a potential album back in 2012 is sad to read.

I just listened to some tracks from this amazing Fleetwood Mac album on a road trip in the car heading home from a family gig.......

Carnival Begin is a beautiful song. She nailed it. It doesn't get a lot of love, but the story behind it, to me, is amazing.

Lay Down For Free is my only sometimes skip song. It just doesn't do it for me. Sounds like a drum machine, and I don't care for the guitar lick thingamabob. That is all.

The drum machine bothers me too. And he opens SYW with that same crappy drum machine too. I'm not a huge Lay Down fan. I do love the harmonies.

Color me as one of the three people on Earth that LOVES What's The World Coming To. It's probably my favorite song on the dirge collection that is SYW.
