I just hope it grows on me over time. Like Not too Late did.

However its on a cd next one of the best songs I've heard in ages and ages.

Meaning. . . "Did You Miss Me"?

Well yeah its great too, but love runs deeper is definately the best song on the CD, it and Right place to fade. Which still sounds like "Twist of fate" to me.

So quote my post if you like, but even gyspysoul said the same thing and you didn't attack her. For the record, I've never shared stuff I've got for review on the internet and never will.

What irks me about it, is that you are such a huge, huge hypocrite about this mentioning it and yes, getting holier than thou about it. I've never requested songs or albums you can actually buy on this board, yet you've done so many times. You even got the whole Camper Van Beethoven Tusk album off someone on this board, even though I gave you a link to where you could buy it, and there's a great band who could do with some support. You said you liked that album, did you go buy it afterwards? I would hope so anyway.
All this rant of yours prooves to me Sharon is that you have been watching and waiting to try to get even with me because you got banned a few months ago for harassing me. And you did say that you couldn't share GOS because of a watermark and for no other reason. You are a vindictive person. You never even apologized to me for all the harassment you gave me in the past. All you said was don't pm you cause you have me on ignore. Well you should follow that advice and just ignore me now.But you won't. You're looking for a fight.

That's not fair. You made the remark and quoted me in the first place!
You're trying to paint me as someone who would rip off Lindsey which isn't true at all. How am I vindictive by responding to an accusation?

I'm sure a lot of people will since the tour starts before the CD is released.

Well If it comes out early on torrent I will definately download it. However I vision this and being acceptable because I have already Pre-Ordered the CD anyway. Two in fact
I dont think downloading it free off a torrent site is morally wrong either if you have already paid for and pre ordered the official CD. Which i'm sure many of the ledge members will probably do.

Is that okay ???? I'd say so.

I'm hardly gonna stop collecting my Lindsey Buckingham and Fleetwood Mac CD's just because Torrents make them free. NO Way!!!
Sure How much is a CD these days.................... 6-7 ish.

Hey Sharon..

It just sounds like you both just need to sort this out off list, via PM. I know you both have good intentions, and no harm done on either end..

Hugs,

Arlene

The ethics "discussion" (and I use that term loosely) going on in this thread needs to end...take it to PM if you have any other comments please. Let's move on.

Thank you.

Back to reviews....

Bloomberg.com (of all places)

Lindsey Buckingham

Another musician who defined the sound of West Coast rock is Fleetwood Mac singer and guitarist Lindsey Buckingham.

His latest solo release is beautifully crafted, with just a touch of the experimentation he showed on group efforts such as ``Rumours'' and ``Tusk,'' which he called his first solo LP.

Buckingham, now 58, has gone his own way musically for a long time -- the new CD is titled ``Gift of Screws,'' a recherche reference to an Emily Dickinson poem that shows up in its chorus. At the same time, he has always retained enough of a mainstream sound to keep Fleetwood Mac fans on board.

I had the review copy a month ago: It won't be released until Sept. 16, but give it an early mention for the Wilson comparison. There's a lot of Californian contemplation, echoes of the author's main band and one of the best tracks is called ``Bel Air Rain.''

This is a mid-pace collection, with lots of guitar flourishes and layered vocals. It retains a mellow feel, as if Buckingham went into his home studio after a long meditation and with mature determination to do exactly what he wanted to.

Rating: ** 1/2.

If you follow the link, it states this:

What the Stars Mean:
**** Excellent
*** Good
** Average
* Poor
(No stars) Worthless

I think rating stars are super silly anyway, for anything. Feels like Kindergarten.

On this album's opener, "Great Day," there's an electric-guitar solo so blowtorch-hot, it seems specifically designed to bitch-slap anyone with the nerve to wonder if Lindsey Buckingham still rocks. Buckingham's 2006 comeback, Under the Skin, was largely a reflective, parlor-room affair, full of self-doubt and dazzling acoustic playing, and here, the mood is still darkly introspective: "Suicide days, suicide, suicide nights/In the wheelchair almost blind," he sings on "Wait for You." But the sound under him is a wild roadhouse blues with the signature groove of old bandmates Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. Fleetwood's drumming also powers "The Right Place to Fade," a classic Mac-style hook barrage with a strummy "Go Your Own Way" gallop and a head-kicking harmony chorus. Elsewhere, things are more subdued: "Time Precious Time" is a spiraling incantation that's nearly psych folk. Old rubberneckers may ponder whether songs like "Did You Miss Me" address Buckingham's former paramour Stevie Nicks. But who cares? What matters here isn't that he used to be in Fleetwood Mac it's that he can still make music nearly as bright.
It gets 3.5 stars.
