Is this Fleetwood Mac?

[jwd]

I'd have to say yes because all the musicians are present. Stevie is an integral part of FM, but not the be all and end all in this band.

John and Mick alone makes it Fleetwood Mac. Having Lindsey, Christine, John and Mick on the album really seals it. So if Say You Will was called FM, than this album should have been called the same.

I don't see how Mick, John, Christine, and Lindsey can play together and sing and it not sound like Fleetwood Mac. The album sounds very much like Fleetwood Mac.

John and Mick aren't touring this. It's not Fleetwood Mac

I'm a man and this is the only record this year, whatever you call it, that has given me multiple eargasms.

The album is Fleetwood Mac. If Stevie came in with two or three songs at the last minute, it would have been released as Fleetwood Mac. The only way they could sell this album not being Fleetwood Mac is by not having Mick and John on the tour.

I guess that is valid.
It sounds like FM on certain songs.

The tour, no. The record, YES.

That's exactly right!

It's not Fleetwood Mac, it's Buckingham McVie, besides. If it was FM all these threads should belong in the post-rumours section of this forum.

In my opinion it's another Lindsey solo-album, with contributions of Christine's songs ...

So the years that Christine was gone weren't Fleetwood Mac...

Thanks for clearing that up.

Seeing as Lindsey produced SATC and LIHTS on his own, I'm guessing those are the two Mick and John aren't involved in, plus Lindsey is credited for bass, drums and percussion as well.

"Credited" being the operative word. It's not like Lindsey didn't occasionally play bass and drums on other Fleetwood Mac albums. ("Second Hand News" comes to mind.)

Not anymore than the SYW era.

Half the songs are hers, and Mick and John play on most of it. It's really not much different than TITN. I don't think you understand what "solo" means.

[justcrazylove]

Yeah this argument that people are presenting that this is a Lindsey solo album, clearly don't know his solo work that well. When he is solo Lindsey generally plays all the instruments, only layers his own vocals ext. Yes i know he has had Mick and John play on tracks that were in the past intended for Fleetwood Mac. But this assertion that this album is a Lindsey record and that Chris is "guesting" is so offensive to the rest of the members of this band, almost denying their legacy and musicianship that runs though this band like no other.
