Buckingham McVie - 4-star review in Mojo magazine
This is the first review I've seen...
'Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie - **** Fleetwood Mac's new not-quite Fleetwood Mac album The party line is that Stevie Nicks's solo commitments have forced Fleetwood Mac to put their next album on hold. But as the recent Tango In The Night reissue proved, Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie were often the band's great unsung partnership. Confusingly, this duets album also includes bass guitarist John McVie and drummer Mick Fleetwood, making it essentially Fleetwood Mac minus Nicks. McVie brings the sing-song pop (Feel About You, Red Sun) and the slightly cloying Game Of Pretend; Buckingham, the whispered vocals and fingernail-splitting guitar solos on Sleeping Around The Corner and Love Is Here To Stay, plus the album's best song: In My World. Does it miss Stevie Nicks? Yes, just as the last Fleetwood Mac album, 2003's Say You Will, missed Christine McVie. But until all parties can sync their calendars, this will do nicely. Mark Blake' Might not please those non-'In My World' fans... |

Thanks for posting the review.
Oh dear, that's probably not what people wanted to hear. Best to set your expectations low Let's hope he's wrong and maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised. Last edited by MoonSister75; 04-23-2017 at 05:06 AM.. |

I agree with all of you, however I'm happy that the first review is both positive and straightforward.

I like the way the critic called the album what it is- a FM album without Stevie, just like Say You Will was a FM album without Christine. Simple and to the point. And I do wish be had gone into more detail about how the 'duets' sound and whether Christine and Lindsey's harmonies are reminiscent of earlier FM albums.
But yeah, his comment that In My World is the best song on the album does lower my expectations |

More whispered vocals. Bleh.

Although this review is positive, it makes me dread the album. If In My World is the best single, probably going to be a nice but forgettable album.

frankly, if someone thinks that IMW is a great song, then their musical tastes are very different than mine and i can't take their opinion as something that will give me any hints about other songs. and the song we already know, SATC is a much much better song than IMW, so...

I love the first single and 4 stars is great. But, I'm hoping the album gets better.

In what way, does he mean that you're a bitch or that you're fabulous (or both)?
