That was a terrific review! It's nice to see one of the more obscure Fleetwood Mac albums get some notice. Also, a few of the comments at the bottom of the page were amusing. Those Buckingham/Nicks fans sure are a bit touchy. :laugh:

The guy just is clueless:

Quote:

The artwork (courtesy of future band member—and future Mrs. McVie— Christine Perfect) is absolutely inspiring, a broad, sweeping painting of two little girls with a dog, standing on a hippety-hop trail an’ pointing up at a high-rising rainbow
It isn't "two little girls", it is a boy & a girl.

Quote:

“Blood On The Floor” could be an outtake from Ween’s Country album, Kirwan drawling out in a goofy Texas twang.

An’ Kirwan just wanted to join Gram Parsons and Keith Richards at the Drop Dead Saloon for shots of rotgut whiskey an’ rousing choruses of old cowhand tunes.
It is JEREMY not Danny who sings this one, ya idiot.

Quote:

“Earl Grey” breaks the album’s head-rushing pace a bit, of course—any song named after a brand of tea threatens to come out as stuffy as an old retired British Parliament member, but this one turns out to be a tasty, well-crafted instrumental that features what surely must be an undercover Christine McVie on keyboards and has just a hint of the spare, stark material she later contributed to the band (“Oh, Daddy,” etc.). One thing’s for sure—Peter Green wouldn’t have been caught dead within a thousand miles of a song this melodic and pop-savvy. Another reason, I’m sure, that Spencer and Kirwan made sure it was on this record.
Obviously this prick hasn't heard "Albatross" or "World In Harmony" or know that Peter not only is "within a 1000 miles" of "Earl Grey", he was major factor in its existence...helping Danny write the song in its original form titled "Farewell".

The only saving grace of the entire article is that after all the negativity throughout, the author actually liked & recommended the album.

Yes, i read this review a few months ago and thought the same things ChiliD. What a moron. But on the other hand, apart of the anti-Green-total-bull****, it's a fun read, and an toxicating tone that really made me relisten to the album. He is right in a lot of places in the article: when he describes the vibes of the songs.....I really enjoyed that.

So, the guy got some details wrong. The best thing is he liked the album!

By the way, it wasn't Chris playing piano on Earl Grey, it was Jeremy.
