Just finished listening to it. It's good, but I'm wondering why they didn't cut some tracks that took better advantage of the musicians in the band.
Sad Angel is probably the best track on the EP. It lacks a bit of the pep that the live version has, but it still rocks pretty well.
Without You is the prime example of what I mean when I say I'm confused as to why they didn't choose tracks that better highlight the musicians in the band. The song is far too busy-sounding. In all honesty, I don't think the drums or bass guitar are really necessary for the song. I think it would have been better with just Lindsey and his guitar with Stevie.
It Takes Time is a very strong and surprising track from Lindsey. I think this would have made a great closing song for a new Fleetwood Mac album.
Miss Fantasy is a solid, almost Mirage-era style of Fleetwood Mac song. It's clearly written with the more commercial, pop sentimentality in mind, but that's not a bad thing at all.
Overall, I like the EP, and it would have been a solid foundation upon which to build a new Fleetwood Mac album, but I'm sure that's something we won't ever see once this EP doesn't sell well thanks to a lack of promotion.
