Say You Will

[tabruns]

I also really like SAY YOU WILL. Although it did suffer by not having McVie, so the Mac chemistry wasn't quite there, I thought Buckingham did a great job producing and both his and Nicks's songs were high quality. Nicks definitely bounced back from the sub-par materials she'd submitted for TANGO and MASK. "Say You Will", "Thrown Down" and "Illume" are really excellent. "Everybody Finds Out" and "Destiny Rules" nearly so.

Buckingham did great with topical songs that really spoke the times: "Peacekeeper", "What's The World Coming To", "Murrow". "Steal Your Heart Away" is a gorgeous piece of ear candy, and the vocals on "Miranda" are rather amazing.

I think the band should have added a few more songs and gone for an actual double CD. They'd have been certified platinum if they had.

I disagree.

It's been certified as selling 500K in the U.S., 100K in the U.K., 50,000 in Canada, and 7,500 in New Zealand.

And a higher price point for a double album might have kept half of those people from buying.

Note - IT'S TOO DAMNED LONG AS IT IS!!!!!!

Yep. We could've done without 4-ish songs and it still would have been, at least in my opinion, a very solid effort (like it still is). Maybe chop off Murrow and Miranda for Lindsey, then chop off Silver Girl and Goodbye Baby for Stevie.

Both of Buck's sound way too much like his solo material and both of Stevie's have always been clunkers to my ears. Her other material on the album is far more superior.

I agree on both points, except I'd lose Come and Murrow for Lindsey. Miranda's pretty catchy.

And I'd lose Silver Girl, Illume(bores me to tears), and SYW(I HATE the children's chorus at the end = cheesy AF) for Stevie.

Oh come on now
You've built your life around Silver Girl and you know it

4 songs I'd cut are Murrow, Come, Red Rover, and Bleed to Love Her.

Can't agree on "Miranda" at all. That's a great song.
