Case in point: The resurrection of Seven Wonders for OWTS. Her comment on it was something along the lines of "Thank god for American Horror Story, because now we can play this song again!" Uh... what? Was someone stopping you from playing Seven Wonders all this time? It's a fine reason to bring the song back, but you didn't play it all this time because it wasn't a mega hit or on Rumours? Just play what you want!

That's why I've been so proud of BuckVie. EIGHT new songs played live is remarkable. Stevie refusing to record new stuff is indicative of the problem.

Stevie exhibiting zero confidence in the band is a big no-no. If you have no confidence in the band you're in, perhaps you should just leave. |

Let's all be thankful they decided to go under their own names for the album and the tour.

I hope the next Fleetwood Mac album is titled Better Without Her for a reason. |

She's not enjoying it anymore, and she seems to be happier with her solo career, so it's a win-win-win situation (for Stevie, for the rest of the band and for the fans).

It's a good album, but too long and scattered for my tastes. I'd give it a solid 3 1/2 stars out of 5. This is the Say You Will album I burned to CD.
01. What's the World Coming To 02. Say You Will 03. Peacekeeper 04. Thrown Down 05. Miranda 06. Destiny Rules 07. Steal Your Heart Away 08. Everybody Finds Out 09. Bleed to Love Her 10. Not Make Believe 11. Say Goodbye 12. Goodbye Baby

I find SYW incredibly difficult to listen to as an album but it has some fantastic moments which sound great in the wider context, like coming on when your music is on shuffle mode. As it stands, SYW is too bloated and overly self indulgent. If they cut some songs each then there's a fantastic album hidden in there.
Lindsey: Peacekeeper Miranda Bleed To Love Her Steal Your Heart Away Say Goodbye Stevie: Thrown Down Illume Destiny Rules Everybody Finds Out Running Through The Garden Put those ten songs together and you have an absolutely fantastic album imo

When SYW came out I had been waiting for MY first new FM album ever after having become a fan during The Dance Tour.
I was of course the first in line to buy the expanded special edition in the cardboard gatefold CD case. I was excited to hear proper official versions of my favorite demos like Running Garden, Smile at You and The Tower (goodbye baby). What I got was great lyrics, decent vocals, and great mixing, but what I thought was a Soulless album. It was overproduced. Too much noise, no air. No organic instruments, and only what felt like robotic MIDI file instruments. Too many guitar parts, not enough piano or organ. And all the songs sounded the same way. There was not enough variation in the instrumentation and sound field. It was flat. The mastering was also flat and everything was fighting in a wall of sound way. I wanted a Fleetwood Mac album and what I got was Tango In the Night on steroids only with better Stevie presence. I will still listen to it, but I skip more than half the Buckingham songs, and I actually like the Live Running Through The Garden from Columbus better than the album version. She really knocked that one out of the Park. A shame they only did it once. I would like to have access to the original tapes and do a "Naked" version of SYW, strip it down to Drums, Bass, Guitar and maybe a few scant extra instruments and backing vocals. Then master it better. I bet it would be a fantastic sounding Fleetood Mac album. |

I listened to SYW a TON when it was first released, mostly because I was so starved for new FM music (even with Christine's absence). I think it's a good album, but it lacks warmth and is a bit long. Lindsey's material is stronger than Stevie's overall.

I think this new album is his strongest material ever. He really hit one out of the ballpark. So many catchy songs!

Win-win-win, you are correct.

I don't dislike SYW as much as it seems like a lot of others do. It's alright for me, definitely not album of the year, but there a couple of songs that I really enjoy and still listen to. I agree with the general consensus that Lindsey overdid his Lindsey-style production on most of it though. It wasn't horribly overproduced imo, but too much sounds and not enough warmth. I think this recent BuckVie album was a big improvement for him in that department, creds to the co-producers and Christine who probably helped in getting him to rein it in a bit.

SYW turned was one of my favorite albums I listened to for ages. As released, though, it definitely seemed like 2 solo albums on shuffle and seemed to suffer a bit from the production.
So, the version of SYW that I listened to was: Peacekeeper (Tin-Tin Out) Miranda Say You Will (Remix Cold Ending) What's the World Coming To Running Through the Garden Thrown Down Silver Girl Steal Your Heart Away Everybody Find Out Bleed to Love Her Smile At You Murrow Destiny Rules Say Goodbye Not Make Believe Love Minus Zero Goodbye Baby I may have been totally off thinking this at the time, but thought that with the DVD audio format still being kind of new at the time, that additional mixing work / timeline pressure to support the format may have been a culprit in how this album sounded. |
