Yep.
My favorite Fleetwood Mac album - Fleetwood Mac.
Side 2 has my favorite Fleetwood Mac song "Say You Love Me" so I voted based on that.. love, love every song on this record! |
I've been wrangling with this for days- which side is better? Both are blindingly polished. Both are chock full of classics. I wouldn't necessarily say either has a clunker. What ended up being the tie breaker for me is that Side 2 has two songs I love- World Turning and I'm So Afraid. To me, those two songs have the most substantive, meaty lyrics of the album. They are dark, brooding pleas for help. In comparison Side 1 has a lot of lightweight material, and dare I say- fluff. I mean, there's even a cover song on Side 1.
All of this just points to the issues I've always had with this album- it's just too polished, too perfect, to the point where it's honestly kind of boring to me. :sorry: Give me the warts that come along with albums like Tusk, Say You Will, Penguin, or Heroes Are Hard To Find. As flawed as all those albums are, they have more personality, are more relatable, and are just plain more interesting. At least to me. :) |
I'm voting side 1 although I'm not a fan of WW or Crystal. That leaves 4 solid songs versus 3 on side two. Don't like Sugar Daddy and much prefer the live version of ISA.

Side two all the way! As much as I enjoy the variety on the first side, I love the sequencing and continuity of sound on the second side. Say You Love Me is such a standout song in any context, and World Turning is an exciting homage to the band's early blues sound.

Side 2 wins this round. I love Warm Ways and Monday Morning, but the rest isn't that great. Rihannon is boring on record :sorry: , Blue Letter is a non event and I never liked Crystal.
Yes, Side 2 has bad Sugar Daddy but the rest of the songs are excellent, and I'm So Afraid is by far Lindsey's best song. So yes, side 2. |
