Wow! What a great review. Songbird II... I think not... No wonder it went south. You can never re-do Songbird. It's just Songbird.
Can't wait to hear the album closer. The one he says is the best track.

How did Uncut rate the last two Stevie releases?
ETA: 7/10 for 24 Karat Gold (which they prefer, at least in that review, to In Your Dreams).
ETA 2.0:
6/10 for IYD
8/10 for SWS
10/10 for UTS
8/10 for SYW

Nice review! It seems that the album clunker will be Game of Pretend, but who knows. I didn't see where he wrote that Carnival Begin is the best track?

I'm glad it got a very positive review. I wonder what Christine's "Too Far Gone" sounds like. No one has mentioned it yet. Very cool that "Carnival Begin" got a shout out.
Christine says in the micro-interview below that three or four of LB's tracks were completed before she returned, so maybe there's one LB track where we can hear her?

I'm really happy they have given it a full-page, too. It seems to me that it is being treated as if it were a new Mac release.
Graeme Thomson, the reviewer, is a good writer - he wrote the only decent biography of Kate Bush, 'Under The Ivy'.

Also if the original gift of screws from around 99/00 was released as is that would be At the top of the list at 10/10. Also guaranteed that if they allowed Christine involvement and her best in the meantime tracks were included amongst the best of say you will and smile at you had ****img piano in it! Then say you will would've rivaled Tusk as one of the greatest masterpiece ever made at an 11/10, but my list had to reflect reality.

IF it had succeeded in achieving Buck's aim: a new Mac album with Stevie, then it would have been a genius move and, in my opinion, a great little piece of art (whether integrated into a Mac album or left as a standalone). History, however, has proven you correct.

Yes..Yes...Yes. It's a shame that this isn't what happened. Christine was willing to record with the Mac for the 2003 album. The album would have been amazing with the best of ITM sprinkled in. If there was a Christine " hit" off the album so what... It didn't have to be played live in concert. The "studio"MAC and the "live" MAC have always been two different bands IMO.

I've not heard this. I remember them saying she emphatically did not want to participate. Stevie said if they thought there was a chance she would come back they would have waited for her. I don't remember them saying they were referring specifically to touring.

Christine has had a long-time fear of flying (and creeping agoraphobia it appears). She no longer wanted to tour. That's certain. There are gazillions of articles about that since the end of The Dance tour.
Whether she was willing or wanting to record but not tour, I don't know for sure.
I believe I read that she did, but that the band feared it would create confusion when they toured especially if she had a hit song. Anyone have an interview citation on that?

No, there was an indication that she would have participated in recording and Mick said he overheard phone calls between Christine and Lindsey about the album, but that the fact that she wouldn't tour was a dealbreaker for the band.

They say, "Don't stop thinking about tomorrow." With that in mind, I flew home to Los Angeles yesterday from New York City just in time to spend the morning with Lindsey Buckingham & Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac fame who -- as a duo for the first time -- have recorded one of the best new albums you will hear this year, coming out in June. The album also features a fantastic rhythm section you might remember, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. The result is a stunning song cycle I can't get out of my head.i suggest you all check it out and if you can, go see Lindsey and Christine in concert if you can this summer when they are touring together to support the new album and play some older songs you will know and love.

Was this from B roll of Destiny Rules or something? I never found this information. Just have always heard about it.
In a 2003 band interview with Matt Diehl from INTERVIEW magazine:
MD: I know Christine McVie decided not to be a part of the reunion, but did she contribute to the album in any way?
SN: She did. We used some recorded parts she performed in 1996 [for Lindsey Buckingham's solo album]. She does some ooh-ooh-oohs on one of the songs, and she plays a little keyboard on another. It's all very subtle. In a million years, she would never have thought that those little parts would end up being on a record in 2003. It was hard for me when I went back in and there was no Christine. Did I miss her? Every day. Did I wish she were there? Absolutely. But she did not want to go on the road. It's not that she wouldn't have done this record; she would have. But if she couldn't go on the road [to promote it], what would we have done if her songs had been the singles? We all tried to talk her out of her decision. Each one of us did. But there was a point in time where she looked at me and said, "I don't want to be a road dog, ever again." It's that look in somebody's eyes, when you know it's for real. Her eyes said, "I can never go back." So I said, "Okay. I release you."

I remember reading this interview when it first was printed and thinking the reasoning behind not letting her participate was bs. I mean, if they could let her do this very thing in 1995 for TIME, why couldn't they let her do it in 2003? The answer is probably Lindsey (as well as Mick) both of whom, in 2003, thought SYW was the beginning of a new era for FM).

I like the two Lindsey songs. I can't agree that feel about you is anywhere close to being as good as Everywhere. I am hoping that Red Sun and Carnival Begin might be better.From the descriptions I have seen they seem interesting.

Agreed. Enjoy the new music as new music. I'm sure in 1979 there were a lot of FM fans who were turned off by the "new" sound of Tusk, for instance. I remember how many people complained when "Big Love" was released in 1987. There were dee-jays saying "We waited five years for THAT?" Well, now FM fans and the general public consider "Big Love'" one of the band's classic songs. Forging ahead with a new sound and new approach to music is what keeps artist's alive.

While it's taken me a few tries with "Sleeping".... I love these new songs. They are really cool in the car driving on the freeway... They sound like an album between Mirage and Tango.. I love the new material.
The David Wild assessment and this latest review are great for the people that really want to hear and love the new music. Not so great for the folks that want to pounce because good reviews will tick them off and trigger jealousy.
But, it's a free speech kind of board so I just observe all the opinions and chuckle. :)
Neither one of these two artists have "lost it." They sound great together.. and for their age.. I'm proud of them for creating and putting themselves out there for the fans that have really missed them.

I rarely post, but I first came to the old ledge as far back as '96. Now just as back then there are a few angry, miserable, bottom feeding trolls who take joy in demeaning the work of the band and its members, particularly the ones they find themselves less aligned with. They shoot down all discourse that does not agree with them. They take joy in telling you what you like is not worthy of their sophisticated aural palette.
I am sure the music will please many, and some will find it a piece of work that does not appeal to them. All of which is a perfectly normal course. It is the degrading vitriol that makes this space nothing more than an extension of our sad political state.

Well I hope you stick around then. An educated and alternate voice is always welcome and has a way of changing the course of the norm. As for our political state, I couldn't agree more. I miss the simple courtesies of life that people often forget.
Cheers..

I have probably said it 50 times since I joined this board, but I'm really, really proud of Christine and Lindsey. They're making new music, which is fantastic at their age, because they truly want to do it, not just because they have to.
So far, I'm loving this album and I couldn't care less about those who want it to fail or for them to play at half empty venues. They made an album for us. I don't see many FM members doing that these days. :)

You got that right! That's exactly what was being said at the time. I'm loving this new music and can't wait to hear the entire collection. I question why some of these "so called fans" of their music even listen to their "newer music" if you don't like it that's cool but bail. Don't trash it.

There are a few legit posters that don't like the new music and I invite that. Lindsey and Christine are a delicacy of sophisticated taste (not for everyone).
It's the trolling to say the same comment (for the purpose of raining on someone else's parade) that get annoying.
I've been checking the youtubes, lately.
The public really seems to like the new music.
Feel About You 602 thumbs up 21 thumbs down
In My World 1903 thumbs up 59 thumbs down
Sleeping ATC 267 thumbs up 18 thumbs down
Not too shabby...

You're funny! Kind of a gushing review and you want to marginalize it in the worst way for some reason. Don't be mad, just an observation looking at this and past posts of yours on this subject, take it for what it is, someone who obviously loves the new album whether you do or not.
and your interminable posts about Stevie are identical to what you are accusing me of posting about one song on one album expect in your case it is much more all encompassing ..I may be a bit negative in my opinion of that one song but you are the last one on here that should be calling anyone out on negativity or trolling.

I had a stretch where I was non stop negative about Stevie yes. She really broke my heart with not participating in the new album. Her comments lately have been very negative and she contradicts herself CONSTANTLY. The latest being that recording doesn't make sense anymore then she turns around and says she wants to save a particular song to record for a new solo album. Make up your mind woman. You have to remember I was a huge fan but the woman has gotten so full of herself. My comments lately are more about my excitement about the new album.

To be honest, that drama was the magnet for me. :lol:

I want to go there and tell Lindsey I love him! Stevie doesn't love him anymore. She has Harry Styles now. It's her new Landslide guy.
Next stop: Silver Springs. :lol:

Are you surprised?! We all know Stevie. She probably doesn't end up realeasing a new album, but she has to stir the pot anyway.
Luckily, the rest of the band doesn't pay attention to her comments anymore and are all moving on with their own projects. :)

Hear New Music Snippets From Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie in Making-Of Doc
Andy Cush // May 25, 2017

Next month, Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac will release a collaborative album, marking their first time outside the confines of their longtime band. (Originally called Buckingham McVie in an apparent nod at Buckingham and Stevie Nicks’ beloved pre-Mac duet album, it now bears the unwieldier title Lindsey Buckingham/Christine McVie.)
Today, the pair have shared a short making-of documentary, consisting mostly of clips of the two in the same Los Angeles studio where they made Tusk nearly 40 years ago. They were joined by Mick Fleetwood on drums and John McVie on bass, making this essentially a Fleetwood Mac album sans Stevie Nicks, which has been previously reported but is nonetheless news to me. The video features previously unheard clips of several songs from the album, and though there’s nothing quite as immediately transfixing as a classic McVie-Buckingham duet like “Think About Me,” the tight and tuneful material still bodes well.
