Sad Angel is a single.

Threw this together rather quickly in anticipation in case the new artwork sucks ass and until we get that new photo of the group in HD. lol

agree that in the past they have introduced blah songs first (Peacekeeper and Say You Will) but disagree that Sad Angel is in line with those songs. Stevie's harmony alone is far better then Peacekeeper. It sounds like the best parts of Lindsey's past 2 solo albums with the addition of stevie's voice and way more important Mick and John. Lindsey wasn't lying when he said they played their asses off in theses new songs.

The song simply doesn't put me in any kind of mood. I've listened to it several times today, and the only reason I did that is because it's new. Try to put it on any FM album alongside all the existing songs. You certainly wouldn't classify it together with the worst, but would you really classify it with the strongest tracks? I am 100% sure we can expect at least 2-3 better songs on the upcoming LP/EP/ whatever format they're planning to put out in the near future. I hope I'm wrong, but I can't see it thrilling anyone outside their fanbasse.

I also told Mick to tell "her" we want the new album, so he's now also aware we know who the holdout is!

wonderful! Now someone just tell Mick that we want The Dealer recorded and I can go to heaven lol

I saw the clips of the 2 new songs on you tube from the show and I didn't like either one of them.I prefer Stevie's new song from Sound City Reel to Real.Movie Soundtrack. You can't Fix This would love to have seen this song on this tour set its a new song and would fit in great has a Fleetwood Mac sound and it rocks.the 2 new songs not impressed to me they sound like sleepers of a songs.

I think "Sad Angel" is a more appealing peppy snappy up-tempo number than Say You Will's peppy snappy up-tempo numbers. That's my point of comparison for reacting (not that it has to be anyone else's). I don't think it's an instant classic for the millennium or anything but for me its unmitigatedly enjoyable (as far as I can tell right now) whereas a lot of their recent songs have been "Pretty good, but would've been nice with/without ..."etc. It feels nice to not have to qualify my appreciation of a new Fleetwood Mac song. I think the guitar's sweet and the harmony makes me smile, the beat gets my toe tapping, etc. It's pretty mainstream without feeling blase to me, it's just a basic pop song doing what good pop songs do (sound good).

This is JMO, music's subjective etc etc. But I'm truly really happy to hear "Sad Angel" after SYW.

I think Lindsey's songs were stellar on SYW. There were a few of Stevie's I liked.

I loved all the songs on Say You Will it really is a master piece of an album love it.

Well, that's opinions for ya, everyone's got their own. I don't mean to offend by offering mine. I really liked about half of Lindsey's and Stevie's songs each, and thought they could've made a good regular-length album. But among the songs I liked, the peppier snappier up-tempo ones weren't really among them. Like, I really like "Miranda" and "Bleed to Love Her", but "Say You Will" and "What's the World Coming To" and to an extent "Steal Your Heart Away", not so much.

I also didn't like the production a whole hell of a lot, it could sometimes be interesting but my appreciation was kind of intellectual and not emotional.

Bleed to Love Her should of been a single. That song is a classic. One of the best songs he has ever written and it makes an emotional impact. I remember when the Dance came out, people were humming that song.

That it does. In fact, it sounds like Lindsey has been listening to Katy Perry and whatever else gets radio play these days. The song is all chorus, with a few "signature" FM licks thrown in. Really bland, in my view.

I hate to be a downer, but Lindsey's voice sounded horrible on it. Sorry, folks. It isn't good.

agree completely. I think the single choices have been off for a while now

If this is what they have to offer, I could do without a new album
 

"Sad angel, have you come to fight the war?" What war?! Sounds like a somewhat uptempo "Peacekeeper." Dull as dish water.
