The Buckingham McVie album! Out June 9th, 2017!!!

[bombaysaffires]

I'm not sure it's entirely accurate to say they are most excited about SATC.... and I really hope their judgement doesn't tell them that that's the best song on there..

Lindsey needs to let songs go sometimes....like, did we really need Bleed to Love Her twice? No. Do we need SATC twice? No. I'd rather have heard new songs in both cases since we've heard them already. Maybe that's just me.

When I look at the time listings I think, there's a big part of my problem with IMW....4+ minutes?? Waaaay too long for that kind of bubbly pop ditty... I equate that with Holiday Road (similar type song-- catchy, nothing heavy, just a fun song) and that clocked in on the recorded version at 2:11. IMW should be no more than 3 minutes. Feel About You is more realistic at just under 3 and a half minutes....(I can't help thinking of the line "that's what I like about you" from The Romantics when I hear "Feel About You" ... .the title lines in both songs are very similar to me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rqnw5IfbZOU)

The resulting collection features lovely, McVie led ballads like “Game of Pretend” and bright, chiming rockers like “On With the Show.”

Good to hear positivity for Game of Pretend. Wasn't that song criticized in another recent review?

[secondhandchain]

There have been too bad reviews of Game of pretend, hopefully they were wrong!

[FuzzyPlum]

Christine's never done less than 7 out of 10. I'm sure she isn't going to start now.

Where was the second of those? I read the Uncut review, which called it "schmaltz".

Mojo review: "slightly cloying Game Of Pretend"

Egads. That's not good. I respect Mojo and Uncut. Here's hoping one critic's slightly cloying is another fan's delight.

it really should come as no surprise that there's going to be a certain amount of knives out for this project, sad and silly for sure, but there we are.

You wouldn't believe how many terrible reviews I've seen for Mystery To Me, and I have adored that album over 40 years and remember when it came out

Opinions are like ********, everybody's got one.

This new album is something I'm going to cherish for (hopefully) years to come. I'm thrilled they're sharing their talent with us yet again.

I'm good.

Lindsey Buckingham Talks Christine McVie Studio Sessions, Fleetwood Mac Stadium Gigs

Lindsey Buckingham Talks Christine McVie Studio Sessions, Fleetwood Mac Stadium Gigs

MUSIC NEWS May 31, 2017 ,

Although the upcoming Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie album features Fleetwood Mac bandmates Mick Fleetwood and John McVie — Buckingham describes it as an entirely different animal than a full-scale Mac project. Buckingham and McVie’s self-titled album is due out on June 9th and will be supported by a 13-date tour, which kicks off on June 21st at Atlanta’s Chastain Park Amphitheatre and runs through July 27th at Denver’s Paramount Theatre.

Lindsey Buckingham began the new album on his own with both Fleetwood and John McVie back in 2014, and shed light on how the project progressed once he got a hold of Christine McVie’s bare-boned demos: “We didn’t go in saying ‘We’re making a duet album.’ We weren’t going in saying it was any particular thing, really — any more than Mick and John and I went in with (producer) Mitchell Froom. It was so clear to both of us; when someone leaves for 15 years and comes back, I would think more often than not, trying to regain that moment or that set of musical reference points, or the vocabulary that you shared, might have gone away and might be hard to re-establish, but in this case we started to realize there was something magical happening between the two of us and we began to get a little protective over that.”

Strange.....I remember reading it was a Fleewood Mac album in the works waiting for Stevie's input.

it was indeed..I think they are just engaging in some revisionist history.

As far as I am concerned, it is a FM album.

Something about Carnival Begin has felt hauntingly familiar.... and it's been bugging the heck out of me to figure out what it is. It reminds me of some other song.... and I think it's Isn't It Midnight. Not that the song part is the same but the turning into a guitar solo all through the end part. there are bits of the solo on CB that seem to come right out of IIM especially a few of the early bits. Like CB is the older slower version (older players that is). Does anyone else hear it??

Listening to IIM highlighted the kind of thing I have been disappointed by a bit in this new bunch of songs-- the part on IIM where Lindsey sings in the background "the face of a pretty girl". It's so obviously him, he's not blended into the mix, and the contrast of his voice popping up just adds another dimension to the song. (Like when Stevie's voice pops up singing "tell me liiiiieeesssss" on Little Lies). I still wish there were those clear moments of each of their voices on the other's songs or a nice blending of just the two voices, not a million overdubs, like on Think About Me or Don't Stop.

Ah well. We can't have everything.

Nope not Isn't It Midnight. It's Behind The Mask. You can sing that song right over most of Carnival Begin. They're practically the same songs.

Am I losing my mind or is the NPR thread gone?
