I say Stevie, I love all of her songs, Lindseys are good but I like Stevies better(it's my nature almost)

Lindsey - he got the production going for him.

Lindsey...Stevie said it herself...this album is his baby...just like with Tusk.

Lindsey

*whispers* His songs are better

I am the classic Stevie fan, however, no one can dispute that this is Lindsey's best work. This is definately Lindsey's baby, and what a hell of a job he did with it!

Lindsey, totally!!...He did a stellar job on all the songs, and even though I prefer Stevie's songs on the CD as a whole- Lindsey brought the house down overall with his production and guitar sensibilities.

this album has Lindsey written all over it...So that's who I'm gonna pick...Brian J.

This album has Lindsey written alllll over it.... an absolute progression from "Out of the Cradle".

However....

The best songwriting and overall impact comes from Stevie's music and passion, so I'll give the award to her (just like Tusk).

ROCK ON, STEVIE!!!!!

Lindsey Buckingham. This album has his songs as the higlights... even though Stevie's tracks make the most impressive, massive attack to the listener... (impact! that's the word

) I think the whole concept is his, and you can see it all over the album. Plus some of his songs are just incredible ("Say Goodbye", "Steal Your Heart Away", "Murrow", "Come", etc.)

Song of the moment - Goodbye Baby

Lindsey, no contest.

It is Lindsey's album, for sure, but I like Stevie's songs better - just as I did with Tusk.

I agree, except I think Lindsey's songs are better. HOWEVER, just wait until the next Stevie solo album comes out, I expect great things from her.

I think the writing on this record is Stevie at her best. For example, I think the song Say You Will is very well written and it just makes me smile and get happy. I think Goodbye Baby is heart wrenching and is a prime example of Stevie's immense talent at evoking emotion while maintaining mystery (do we really know for sure what it is about? ).

BUT, it took LB's magnificent production to get this record off of the ground and his songs are brilliant too. It is almost as if LB ia 1 1/2 times more present than La Nicks because LB wrote and produced his songs and Stevie wrote and demo'd her songs and gave them to LB to produce. Even Stevie says LB just sort of takes her demos and runs with them. Sometimes the final product is very close to the demo and sometimes not. In the end, the album is great and the credit goes to LB as a producer that make great material even better

Undoubtedly, as the producer, arranger and architect of the band's sound, this album belongs to Lindsey, that can not be disputed. However, Stevie's songs (and vocal performances) are infinitely superior to Lindseys - no contest.
It has to be said that Lindsey's contributions sound quite dated, even lame alongside Stevie's more contemporary and dynamic numbers. It actually surprised me that many of the album reviews have identified Stevie's songs as being more standard stock rock/conventional but in terms of arrangements and longevity, I consider hers to be the most impressive.
