Under the link for pre-order, there is a link to listen to the songs! The songs and control buttons appear at the top of the screen. I've only listened to two songs, but they appear to be the whole songs, not just snippets.

[lbfan]

1. Show You How
2. Down on Rodeo
3. Cast Away Dreams
4. It Was You
5. Someone's Gotta Change Your Mind

DOR and SGCYM sound identical to the Torrent versions previously leaked. The others sound like vintage Lindsey!

[mondaymornin1]

Listening right now! These are great!

(Can't believe this is FINALLY happening, by the way!!)

I like Cast Away Dreams! The first one is going to take some getting used to... it's not something I instantly liked, but it's not too bad. The music to CAD reminds me of Joni Mitchell's Both Sides Now.

ladies and gentlemen, i have a new favorite.

CAD is so effing stellar... i can't get enough of it.

i can't believe that this is finally actually really happening

Loving the laid back, yet fascinating sound. Cast Away Dreams is really lovely. This sounds like it's going to hang together as an album much better than Say You Will, which seemed just like a collection of ideas.

I worried a bit about what Lindsey's voice might sound like, but the harmonies are just so pretty.

and i'm pleased that he left the "annie" on the end of DOR. hmm, listening to Cast Away Dreams again...

[goldie]

ooooh I am headed there now! Thanks for the info!

[MacMan]

This is extremely cool stuff! The guys a genius!

[nichora]

I love the new songs, they all have great lyrics and tunes. There's a fresh up-beat sound to them.
Don't know about the vocal manipulation though..
Lindsey's got a good natural voice. Lower than in his early years, but its still strong (Live I am Waiting). I don't know why there's so much manipulation in here!?
Oh well, I'm sure we will all get used to it.

three more to go:
Juniper, Too Late and Under The Skin..

Wonder what they'll be like!?

As soon as I got the album and listened a couple of times, I'm sure to be crying out for more Lindsey music More!!! Couldn't you have put a few more songs on there!?
I do hope this rock album materialises next year, early next year!?

[macmar71]

I personally am in love with what I have heard so far
Lindsey is always the bomb in my book. Shut Us Down was not a favorite of mine but these tunes are so cool!
Can't wait to see which tunes he chooses to do live....Hope we hear Show You How and Down On Rodeo.
Just so thrilled here

I apologize if this has already been discussed but in this USA TODAY article it says (see highlite): What does this mean? With FM? Again I apologize for my ignorance

Music
'No drums, very little bass' on Buckingham's new CD

Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham is about to unveil his first solo CD since 1992's Out of the Cradle. He describes the stripped-down arrangements on Under the Skin, due Oct. 3, as "kind of a reduction. There are basically no drums, very little bass. On a musical level, I've been trying to distill things."

Skin also reflects a sense of contentment, he says, that owes much to his wife, Kristen, and their three children. "This is the best time in my life, and that's a great thing to be able to say when you're 56, and didn't become a father till you were 48."

He plans a "more rocking" companion CD in 2007, after a U.S. tour. "It's a turnaround, time-frame-wise, for someone who's been sort of the Terrence Malick of rock," referring to the reclusive director.

Cast Away Dreams is my definite favourite of the new bunch ...

Look for me in the morning light
Dancing on the cast away dreams

It Was You is up there with It Was I for me.

[Peestie]

OK, I've listened to them all and I think they are all great. I liked them all on first listen, now I really love them!

I've got to say though... Down On Rodeo is one of Lindsey's absolute finest moments in his entire career IMO. I don't see any tracks on the album topping that track, but you never know, in 6 months after the album has been released some of them could really have grown a lot on me so that I like them more.
I know John played on DOR, but who actually wrote the bassline? Does Lindsey give John the music and he plays it, or does John do it himself? Who ever wrote it did a FANTASTIC job. It's perfect for the song.
