I'm so thrilled that Stevie did this at this time in her life, at this time when technology and media is incredibly accessible to everyone (even if she doesn't like most of it). I'm proud of the direction the album promotion is going. I hope she gains many new fans, gets the credit she deserves and has a huge comeback!

I must be in a slight minority with these two:
-Soldier's Angel, eh... pretty much what I had expected it to be... a lot like Desert Angel and Street Angel to me, skippable at this point. A little too repetitive
-New Orleans, also a bit repetetive. It reminds me of Pussycat Dolls "When I Grow Up" a little bit. Like you could mash the two... "I wanna wear beads, I wanna wear feathers, I wanna have boobies" no?
BUT, Moonlight is now one of my favorite solo tracks!

Are you kidding me? Desert Angel is one of the most wretched things she's ever recorded. It in no way compares to Street Angel (one of the best songs on a very dull album) or this. IMO. :)
Soldier's Angel & New Orleans were the two songs I thought might be clunkers on this album, because they had the most potential to fall victim to Stevie Self-Indulgent Syndrome, but I was very pleasantly surprised.

Just finished listening to every song-one word-AMAZING! I loved every song on this album, which I cannot say has ever happened. This is her masterpiece, I truly believe. Moonlight, gave me chills all over and the tears just flowed for Italian Summer. Her emotions clearly came through on many of these songs. So many songs to favorite: New Orleans, Moonlight, Annabell Lee, Sodiers Angel, Everybody Loves You, You May Be The One, Italian Summer these stand out as faves upon first listen. Although after listening many times, will probably love more as faves. I agree with previous comments that Secret Love is not at all the strongest of this lineup. In Your Dreams totally ROCKS!

I really like Annabel Lee. I didn't say much about it because I can't think of anything. It isn't radically different from the demo - it's just a cleaned up, fully produced version.
I thought Moonlight would have the basic melody of LFTM and a few of the lyrics, but she just took LFTM and added a chorus and a bridge. For all intents & purposes, it *is* Lady from the Mountains.

So happy I checked in at lunch. I'm about 2 mins into For What It's Worth so far. I know what I'll be listening to for the rest of my work day.
OMG..can't believe we are sitting her listening to THE album.

What an unbelievably exciting day for all of us! Just finished listening to the album and I had chills EVERY song. This is the first album that I absolutely adore every single song. :] This is beyond what I expected. I LOVE how much variation there is with the songs...LOVE the sequencing of Moonlight into Annabel Lee. LOVE LOVE LOVE Stevie's voice building at the end of Italian Summer...AHHH!!! :blob1::blob1::blob1::thumbsup:

Moonlight is absoultely phenomenal!!!
I listened to it with headphones on, and I have to say I LOVE her vocal the whole way through. At the beginning she sounds so fragile, but the second chorus is what really got to me. It reminds me of the sound of her voice at a live show. I really think Dave did an excellent job of capturing Stevie in all aspects, especially vocals.

This is NOT a leak. If it was I wouldn't be listening. It's official and sanctioned by Warners/Stevie. No way would Rolling Stone do anything dodgy like that. It's exactly what Britney and several others have done with their last albums.
I'm listening now and SO happy they did this -especially as it may be a fortnight or so before my copy of the album arrives! Thoughts to follow...

Ok, while all the Dutch recordstores have listed as an release for april 28th (tomorrow) I went out for it today after work. No succes...
Much to my surprise I found out that it was online and am listening to it now. Couldn;t hold my patience....can't imagine people want to wait for the actual CD...people, this is a treat, a gift from Stevie to us. Take this change and have a wonderful wednesday-evening.
I'm half way now (Annabel Lee) and like very very what I've heard so far. A Dylanesque ' For what is worth', a wonderful Moonlight (Lady from the Mountain), Annabel Lee (great) and just Lindsey kicks in on Soldiers Angel....very haunting guitarplaying.
This is (for for sure) Stevie's best work since The Wild Heart...
Cannot wait to download it to my iPod.....

Jondalar
04-27-2011, 02:18 PM
I put that I was listening to the album as my facebook status and that a review would follow. Here's the comment I put afterwards:
Her best since Bella Donna - no question. I had heard good things but I'm still surprised by it! There's an almost Dylan like track (For What It's Worth), a top pop tune (In Your Dreams), kick ass Rock (Ghosts Are Gone) and an acoustic track that sounds like it's from a current Buckingham Nicks album (Soldier's Angel - great harmonies from Lindsey!) There's also a kind of funk/blues/Tom Petty type tune (You May Be The One) and a big, lighters-in-the-air ballad towards the end (Italian Summer). Even with all this it still somehow sounds like "Classic" Stevie. Fantastic!
Boy, your right. It does sound like Classic Stevie Nicks.
TheWILDheart
04-27-2011, 02:19 PM
Right, ok, so...I've just played "In Your Dreams" all the way through twice.
Important points to note:
I deffo think "In Your Dreams" should've been a first single. It should've also been track 2 with "For What It's Worth" at track 3. "Wide Sargasso Sea" is mind blowing - her vocals are incredible and it has this HUGE roaring atmosphere too it. You can really imagine the house burning to the ground and the passion of these 2 characters all wrapped up in the flames. And it's musically genius! "New Orleans" is gorgeous...as if she were actually singing it from the clouds above the city and another amazing vocal. I'm not crazy about the vocal on "Moonlight" but I love the story and the lyrics and the pace change between the verses and the chorus. "Annabel Lee" is one of my favourites - everything about it is just brilliant! "Soldier's Angel" is a very powerful song lyrically, and musically it reminds me of "Long Distance Winner" a little with the sparseness of it and the harmonies. The opening of "Everybody Loves You" sounds like something Cora Corman would do in "Music & Lyrics". Not a huge fan of this one. "Ghosts Are Gone" is like "Rhiannon" meets "Angel" on speed lol. I love "You May Be The One". With a title like that, you expect a lovey dovey cutsie balad, but it's not at all - it's actually quite a bitter lyric and I love that. I love that after all these years, Stevie is still so open about things in her music and can say so much without saying much at all. "Italian Summer" I wasn't excited about at all on the preview, but I love how it all built up on the full track and wasn't "in your face" about being a love song. I don't like how the track just ends after the big note - I would've preferred for the music to carry on and for Stevie to do some Sara-esque ramblings as the track fades out. All this is rounded off well with "Cheaper Than Free", which is possibly my least favourite on the album.
Favourites:
Annabel Lee
In Your Dreams
You May Be The One
Wide Sargasso Sea
Secret Love
Personally, I still prefer TISL. But that album is so personal for me, there was no way she was going to top it. Musically and lyrically, I know IYD is the better of the 2, but my heart goes with TISL because of the connections I have with it. Congratulations Stevie - with the help of good friends, you have created another masterpiece!

Matthew
04-27-2011, 02:29 PM
Well, what can I say after first hearing it?
I will be clever lot more after hearing it for the thousand times, as always, but just my first impressions:
Iīm not sure It will be my most favourite Stevieīs album.
As always there are songs I like very much, and of course the other songs. Probably my most favourite will be Ghosts Are Gone (yeah, I want it to here live in concert :)), and great songs are Wide Sargasso Sea, Moonligth, Italian Summer and also Secret Love, which we know very well yet.
Something I cought, song You May Be The One evokes me something like Rickīs King of Hearts album :) and also itīs like Janice Joplin style. I really like the beginning of Everybody Loves You, well all that song is very good too.
But there are songs that I donīt think I will ever love, like the second - For What itīs worth, next In Your Dreams, well Iīm not in this mood right now, maybe some other time I will like it :).
I just need some time, listen to it few times more and I will be more clever.
Itīs really great that we have something new, Stevie is ****ing amazing musician.

Best Stevie Nicks Album Ever....She has grown so much as a artist and a person since 1981 with Bella donna. I could not be more excited and proud. I just love her:p:woohoo::D
That just brought tears to my eyes thinking of Bella Donna Stevie to IYD Stevie...

I can't decide if You May Be the One is about Lindsey or Joe. I'm thinking Joe.

WOW!!!!!! My Gal still has it and sounds better than ever! :eek: And I've been a Stevie fan since '75, Rhiannon and the White Album. Seeing the post to the RS link on my FaceBook page was the highlight of my day along with the Bahama Mama drink after work! :angel::angel:
Ghosts are Gone reminds me of Edge of Seventeen and Stand Back....this was worth the 10 yr wait! And wow....Italian Summer is awesome! I can't wait for my CD to come in the mail!

God imagine if she'd had it together enough (or had people around her to keep her on track) to have done more albums like this when her voice was at its peak! Shivers.

Was just thinking this. She sounds fantastic yes, but imagine if this album was her voice circa 1980 :)

<<"Italian Summer" I wasn't excited about at all on the preview, but I love how it all built up on the full track and wasn't "in your face" about being a love song. I don't like how the track just ends after the big note - I would've preferred for the music to carry on and for Stevie to do some Sara-esque ramblings as the track fades out.>>
TOTALLY agree with the part about how it ends...was thinking the same thing....

I wish I had more time to comment- Moonlight is stunning.
I feel such a sense of pride, happiness and excitement for Stevie right now. I am feeling so emotional for her- and for myself as a 30 year fan. I love her.

Ahh, I was waiting to hear from you! I agree with everything you said, especially about Moonlight... it's a definite stand out.

My favs:
In Your Dreams
Wide Sargasso Sea
Annabel Lee
Ghosts are Gone (I cannot wait to rock out to this while driving with the windows down and sunroof open!)
Moonlight (much better than I anticipated when I heard it was inspired by Twilight)
The lyrics are beautiful on the entire album, I cannot wait til Tuesday!

I told Louie this.
But I feel as though she really is a phoenix with this album. To me, at least. She has completely reinvented herself. She's strayed away from her "woe is me" and depressing songs. This album is completely uplifting, and beautiful in absolutely every sense. It flows so well.
Bella Donna was beautiful - but some of the songs seemed like they were thrown onto it. This, In Your Dreams, I feel like every song was MEANT to be on that album. They all work together, they all compliment and contrast each other in a way that makes each song that much more beautiful.
I just finished listening to this album, start to finish, my first Stevie album ever, start to finish. And I am just completely awestruck at how utterly fantastic it is.
Both she and Dave, and anyone else involved, really, honestly outdid themselves.

This. It's been worth every second we've waited! It's full of surprises. It covers so much ground but still hangs together so well and feels so complete.
As someone already noted, it feels authentically Stevie. I don't feel like we're getting Stevie filtered through Dave Stewart (there was too much Sheryl Crow on TISL) -- it really feels like this is the record Stevie wanted to make, and her mark is on every track at every level.
Wide Sargasso Sea is the instant standout track for me. It has an incredible Smile At You energy to it -- sassy and fierce and angry and sexy!
I'm so glad we can share this experience together!

my favorite is "for what it's worth" - amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After hearing it all the way through once, my favorites are Italian Summer and You May Be The One. I won't listen to it again until I get my copy in the mail. I'll see if my opinion changes any after I get more familiar with it.

How many artists from her generation could produce something this vital and compelling today that could rank with anything from their heyday?It was not worth the 10 year wait It was worth the 30 year wait.

Still can't get over how beautiful this is!!! My 1 hour shift at the desk at work seemed like the longest EVER, and I was still listening to FM related music while there!!!
Any word on if we can download this or anything?

Bella Donna will always be her best album, for me. RAL is my 2nd favorite, and I think IYD will wind up right alongside it.

At first I didn't like the idea of Stevie making an album with Dave Stewart. I believed those two could never mix well. I also had doubts if she could pull this out vocally. After I watched the sizzle reel I knew that something big was about to happen, but now that I've heard the complete album several times i can only say
THIS IS THE BEST STEVIE NICKS SOLO ALBUM EVER!
This is by far the most mature and coherent album she has ever done. I love the craziness and ethereal feel of BD and WH, the atmosphere of the songs on TISL, but this album is so much more. It's a grown up Stevie album. Absolutely everything on this album is on the right place. My favorites for now are:
Wide Sargasso Sea - Sexy, nonchalant, CRAZY!
Moonlight - Perfect production, one of those songs that make you feel in love even when you are not.
Annabel Lee - I HATED the demo, and now it's one of my faves ob the album. I don't know why, but I feel like dancing whenever I hear it :lol:
Ghosts Are Gone - A great, great rocker. I hope she does this live.
Soldiers Angel - I know many of you don't like it, but I do. It's such a dark song, and I think I finally know why she does the ipod thing, and how she really feels about it.
Italian Summer - I didn't like the snippet from the sizzle reel, but now I simply love it. Melancholic and beautiful. People should feel like this when they fall in love.
And I still don't like Secret Love and Cheaper Than Free. :p
