gag-inducing In the Meantime review

[GateandGarden]

I don't think we've ever discussed this. I just happened to come across it on Amazon and it really irritated me. First of all, I don't believe this is a "Kid's Review." The person is no English scholar but also doesn't seem to write like a child. If it is a child, I'll just echo what an acquaintance of mine said just tonight--"People need to stop having kids."

A Kid's Review

Really bad songs from a legendary artist, singer songwriter of Fleetwood Mac. Pick up any Fleetwood Mac CD from the last 30 years except the new one Say You Will and listen to some wonder full songs by this artist (Examples: White Album, Rumours, Tusk, Mirage, Tango In The Night). But these tunes dont even compare in quality, shotty songwriting and arrangements. It sounds like they were recorded at her home. Mr Buckingham and Ms Nicks didnt necessarily do a brilliant job on the recent "Say You Will" but it was a HEC of a lot more interesting then this stuff. Plus they are young at heart enough to keep playing on your to the loyal fans at a venue near you. Lets be glad say You Will wasnt filled up with this junk. A 3 1/2-4 star CD would have been sadly lowered a whole rating. Mrs McVie feels she's too old now to be rockin on the road with Fleetwood Mac or to be going on the road to support this garbage. Pretty soon it will be time to grab a rocking chair and retire into her ripe old age. Not even the pile of makeup on the cover of this CD can cover that up. This chicks olddddd!!

[GateandGarden]

Ugh. Lay off the cover and quit calling her old. (That person has touched on one of my biggest pet peeves).

I just felt like whining tonight, apparently. :shrug:

[Nicksluvver]

What an as*-nuf said-poor stupid kid or adult!?

[Moony]

Oh, I don't know, Hil. I thought the review was pretty spot on.






































hehe I kid, I kid :xoxo:

[HomerMcvie]

I hope when he's old, that his kids and grandkids have NOTHING to do with him. I'd give my life, for him to be sent his review, then!
Christine has grace. He's a schmuck!

[macfan 57]

Are Buckingham & Nicks still young at heart? I wasn't aware of this.;) Seriously, this review is hardly worthy of mention.:( :shrug:

[SortaSavageLike]

Still not as bad as a long-winded one-star review of Rumours I read on Epinions a couple months back. The author spends most of 1,500 words foaming about how the album "killed rock", wasn't gritty and rebellious enough, and that band was full of talentless hacks. Whatever. What the hell plastic bubble was this guy living under to think, 24 years later, that Songbird and Dreams were thrash metal? :shrug:

Then, a year later, he gives ABBA's Greatest Hits CD four stars (yeah, really gritty rockin' stuff there! :]). A year after that, he goes absolutely gaga over Tusk, because it's so "rough and unpolished!" and apparently because Lindsey had a few weird songs on it. He proudly proclaims it "The Best Fleetwood Mac ever did!" even though Tusk and Rumours were the only albums he'd ever heard. Of course, he spends a quarter of the review reminding the reader how much he hated Rumours. The guy could probably tell me what color Sammy Hagar's belly button lint is, but didn't know that Tusk was the most expensive album ever made at the time!

Hypocrite! :rolleyes:

(:sorry: for the ranting, I just woke up!)

[GODDESS6]

what a horrid review, that ass!!!:distress: ~

Oh, I don't mind the ranting at all! Rant away. I love to. That person sounds very irritating, too.

[GateandGarden]

Are Buckingham & Nicks still young at heart? I wasn't aware of this.;) Seriously, this review is hardly worthy of mention.:( :shrug:Oh yeah, it certainly isn't worth taking into consideration at all. I'm ready to write the person off as an idiot and not care about anything he or she writes. (Damn, Hillary! :laugh: ) But you know that I love to talk and so I started a rather pointless thread, which would not be the first time at all.

As a review of the album it can't be taken seriously in the least, of course. It never even really addresses the material on the album. What really disturbed me is that the person felt it was necessary to attack Christine the person rather than Christine the artist. I mean, it sounds like personal attacks to me, which are against the review guidelines on Amazon.

[GateandGarden]

Christine has grace. He's a schmuck!You know, that was the one thing about that person that made me think he or she could actually be a "kid." A lot of the writing itself doesn't support that theory at all but the whole "'old' people should just stop" mentality is pretty juvenile. It's something I expect to hear from someone my age, even. I think it takes awhile before the vast majority of people learn to fully respect those who are wiser, or just have a clue in general.

To elucidate that last clause, I'll mention some chick I was talking to the other day. I honestly can't remember who it was; I have talked to way too many people lately. I need to cut myself off from humanity. Anyway, she said that some woman who was in her forties was a "geezer" (sp?). This always blows me away, the notion that a woman in her forties is comparable to a hag or something. I can't believe there are people my age who feel that way. More idiotic than I can say.

[HomerMcvie]

To elucidate that last clause,

Thanks David.

I mean Hillary.:lol: :lol: :lol:

Dammit, I can't get the quote thing to work like I want it to, and have to go to work.....

"Wonder full"? HAHAHAHA.

Mrs McVie, huh? Oh, I guess that's her title, now that she's married to me. :rolleyes: I would like to see the reviewer when they're olddddddddddd!, so I can laugh in their face. I agree, somewhat, about the album cover. It's too airbrushed. The pics inside the booklet are much cuter.

[jbrownsjr]

Oh, I don't know, Hil. I thought the review was pretty spot on.

[goldustsongbird]

Yeah...about that...I've been meaning to say congratulations! :woohoo: :laugh:

Have you got a wedding gift for us? :D

[GateandGarden]

Have you got a wedding gift for us? :DIf I ever get my Christine McVie welcome kit then you're uh, welcome to it. :) I would get you something nicer but I'm just too jealous. She finally (?) goes for a woman and it's not me. :laugh:

:sorry: What can I say, all I did was offer her some Hobnobs and a free duck, and the next thing I know she's proposing!

:laugh: I'm crazy.

[jbrownsjr]

Hey, I never got mine. :mad: :shrug:

u were caught listening to Wild Heart, so homer cancelled it! ;)

Damned Skippy! Submit your application for re-examination.

Actually,believe it or not, WH is the last album of ole what's her name's, that I like.

[GateandGarden]

Damned Skippy! Submit your application for re-examination.I need to have this application e-mailed or pmed to me. I don't recall filling it out the first time. ;)

Actually,believe it or not, WH is the last album of ole what's her name's, that I like.You don't say? I had no idea because you've only made that point eighty times on here. :xoxo: I know that WH is her last good album to you and all the rest got progressively worse. See, I'm paying a little bit of attention.

[HomerMcvie]

Damned Hill, you ARE paying attention!!! What's your GPA?
As far as I'm concerned, I'm the only authority on the matter, and yes- Ole what's her name's album rolled progressively downhill. Mind you, I jumped ship after OSOTM. Stinkaroo!!!! Enough that I STILL remember saying to myself, "This thing sucks. I'm done shelling out my money for this dreck!"

[GateandGarden]

Enough that I STILL remember saying to myself, "This thing sucks. I'm done shelling out my money for this dreck!"My GPA is not nearly as high as it ought to be. Why? Because I remember only stuff like that instead of details about Anglo-Saxon Britain as opposed to Roman Britian and the differences in their governments and the role of religion in each for that test from hell I had to take last week.

Anyway...:laugh: Of course you know me and you know that I'm not going to let you have the final word. In Stevie land, I don't like to admit this, but when it comes to RAL/SA/TOSOTM there are only two or three songs on each that I genuinely like. I'm either indifferent or have antipathy for the others. TOSOTM has "Rooms on Fire" going for it, for example. I don't know how you can think that one is utter crap. I also disagree with the assertion that she just got worse and worse. There's a curve--she's high for BD and WH and then she goes down and down, and then creeps back up with TISL. I definitely don't like everything on that album but it's much more consistent than the others IMO. Sure, I do hate "I Miss You," though. I still think a lot of things went right with that album. But of course I can't convince you if you hate her recent voice no matter what. Oh, and if Enchanted Disc 3 counts for anything, that has some great stuff on it; a lot of it is better than TOSOTM and SA, etc.

There. I have Steviefied the Christine forum to my heart's content for the night. :thumbsup:

[Moony]

honestly, its good to see you in here for a change
you will be receiving your Christine McVie welcome kit soon!
Thanks! I may joke about not liking Christine at all, but I do care for quite a good number of her songs. I just probably won't ever get into solo-Christine.
Oh, and Danny, Mr. "Christine is boring" qualifies?!?! :mad: ;)

Now, now, let's not be jealous :p

[ontheEdgeof17]

Yeah. Her Fleetwood Mac songs are pretty good...she has some of my favs, actually........BUT......she is sooo boring to watch, and her solo work is just plain dull....except for a few songs here and there. I'd rather watch a rock gather moss.

[DavidMn]

You know, opinions are like A**holes. Everybody's got one....:nod:

[jbrownsjr]

it never bothers me when someone doesn't get Christine
i get it and that's where my concern kind of stops

she's is very unique and so not everyone is going to get her

i get that, and accept it..........

[jbrownsjr]

Now, now, let's not be jealous :p


i love jokes, i mean FMac is an extreme band deserving of many jokes

from LB slamming Stevie into a car, to Christine chucking her drink into LB's chest, to Stevie's howling and falling over on stage

what's not funny about FMAC

[DavidMn]

it never bothers me when someone doesn't get Christine
i get it and that's where my concern kind of stops

she's is very unique and so not everyone is going to get her

i get that, and accept it..........That's a great attitude to have. I mean she means what she means to you, and who the F**K cares what some critic thinks right?

Yea I read that crap too! I try to check amazon customer reviews often...and this one pissed me off!

That's an interesting quote by Ann there...

Yeah, butt some stink more than others!:distress:

[DavidMn]

Yeah, butt some stink more than others!:distress:
Well, let me put it to you this way. Personally, I dont care for most of Christine's solo work, but that's just my opinion. I would never go after someone else that doesn't share my opinion.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

That's an interesting quote by Ann there...

What, that she hates the government? This is one of the many reasons I love her so much! I actually found this from one of her old columns called "I'D BURN DOWN MY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE"...where she talks about how she almost ran a campaign for a month before the elections, in hopes that Chris Shays would lose. And she needed a third-party who would take her...so she went with the Libertarians because they share many of the same views. However these local CT libertarians seemed fixated on the legalization of drugs...which Ann was not for.

If you read my posts, I never ever take anything personally. I just want 2 make u all laugh at urselves N use shorthand like this!! haha

[GateandGarden]

If you read my posts, I never ever take anything personally. Yeah, I find myself wishing I could be like that...but that's totally not me! :o :laugh:

[David]

And she needed a third-party who would take her...so she went with the Libertarians because they share many of the same views.I myself am a Liberterrarium. I support the freedom of small plants & animals in glass eco-tanks.

[David]

Well, let me put it to you this way. Personally, I dont care for most of Christine's solo work, but that's just my opinion.But maybe you really do care for it, deep down, almost subconsiously -- only you just don't know it. Didja ever think of that? Huh? HUH???!!!

[jbrownsjr]

But maybe you really do care for it, deep down, almost subconsiously -- only you just don't know it. Didja ever think of that? Huh? HUH???!!!

anyone that doesn't like christine's stuff is just of the lower I.Q.
