Needham vs. Lord-Alge / SYW
For all the back and forth in Destiny Rules over who would mix the album, to my ear Lord-Alge ("Destiny Rules") and Needham (everything else) are not particularly distinguishable from one another. "Destiny Rules" is generally mixed like the rest of the songs.
What does everyone else think? Three other things: 1. This is a great album. 2. Boy did they pick the wrong songs for singles, and the wrong song for the title track. 3. Notwithstanding Lindsey's claim that starting with Mirage they wouldn't let him experiment, he sure does a lot of it here and on Tango. |

Yes--his gift (to us) got screwed (by Stevie and Mick).

I agree this is a great album, I do think SYW was a great title track. I know much has been made about "friction" during this one, and people say it was apparent in the DR documentary. I don't see it at all--I actually think they all appear to be getting along great--yes I am sure some things were scrapped for the cutting room floor, but I just don't see the drama, save for the one conversation with L,S,K. |

Hm, I wonder why? They should be playing Thrown Down on the current tour. They could spin it as being about Lindsey's departure. Thrown Down by the woman he brought into the band. Could even dedicate it to Lindsey. |

CbBen, what song would you pick as the title track (assuming the title had to be one of the tracks)?
I like their choice of Say You Will but I haven't given others much thought. This could be a good poll idea.

On Buckingham/McVie all the elements I missed on SYW are there. That album is testament of what Christine McVie did for FM without ever getting the recognition she deserved. You can hear that Lindsey respects ther, they both value the other one's contributions, you hear the good time they had in the Studio, with Mick and John. That gives the record a calm, friendly feeling, the opposite of the rather aggressive vibe that SVW gave me. It's just a beautifully done coherent album. I only kinda missed some Stevie background-singing goodies, her voice is so interesting when used to highlight or accentuate the other two's songs. But as a songwriter, Stevie has not moved me for decades, her demo vaults must be totally empty by now. I wasn't expecting anything good from her anyway. I do understand why she didn't want to participate, she knew that both Chris and Lindsey would have crushed her with their talent, their compositions, Stevie couldn't let that happen.

This is a very good point. I always struggled with WHY Stevie is avoiding them and the whole recording thing, never really sat down and thought it through, but this makes perfect sense.

It could also be as simple as her standing to earn more money on the road than in the studio.

She's a true artist without having to talk about what an amazing diva or genius she is. That's what I love about the core of FMac. They do vs. talk.

She could have pulled 3 of those songs from the 24 Karat collection. Who cares if they weren't new. They weren't heard before by most people. Hell, lots of tracks on FM albums were songs she had written years before.

I agree with you 100%, but she would care if she didn't look capable of writing anything new, ESP in front of Lindsey and to some degree Chris. I really believe that. She's sooooo concerned about her image 24/7.
