More of a "schizo".

Damn David, you read my thoughts! But seriously,....

She's clearly very far removed from the anger that fueled her earlier demo recordings of the song, and that really shows in the final result.

i seriously doubt she is that far removed from the song
it totally fits in with her general 'theme' of her songs on the album
and i think she was very much in the zone explicit to that song.

AMEN!!
SYW is the only record i listen to on a weekly basis
because there is so much going RIGHT for it
the only 2 FM albums i listen to even remotely regularly are BTM & Tango

4 songs should have been ditched off SYW
and then it would have been an utter masterpiece
WTWCT, SG, Come & SYW

Come i could re add if there were Stevie vocals
SYW if it was not written for the sole purpose of becoming a single

I completly agree I just realised whilst reading this... SYW is one of the only FM albums I can listen to without skipping tracks. Except, of course, if i am in a total-Stevie mood, then I skip through some of LB's songs. But most of the time I listen to it all the way through ((Sorry Lindsey!)

Edit: I just realised I wrote this in the Lindsey forum... I don't come here often (and the Stevie gaurd dog is after me too now!) so yeah... I like Lindsey! (I do, seriously! Just not as much as my Stevie!)

All great tracks, I think I am one of the few people who would have wanted it to be a double album! (Think I'll add that as the "Unpopular Opinions" thread

I just think that you need to listen to SYW a few times before you realize it's a good, at times beautiful, album! I only dislike red rover & silver girl.

Ps: I'm sure you know that the guitars are great, but also check Mr. Mcvie's bass on this record...

Oh yeah, some of those bass lines are really great! And the guitar work is some Lindsey's best.

Definitely a very good album, although I think Red Rover is brilliant. It's such a sad song and I love Lindsey's vocals on it.

YES!! My thoughts exactly. I guess this is about as close as we'll get to another Buckingham/Nicks.... "the saga continues".
Suffice it to say, I really do like the album and the combination of hearing Stevie and Lindsey together again. They really add to each others work.

I know... I'm over-the-top biased and have no shame... but I gotta have me some Christine to call it FM.
