i mean, Sad Angel is practically a FM/LB formula for a perfect pop song - a bit of verses, a layer of catchy chorus, a layer of catchy guitar parts, small guitar solo, a layer of bitc*ing about something the other band member did, mix it up and voila! the result is still a great extremely catchy song, don't get me wrong.

But the main Fleetwood Mac-y attraction of Sad Angel is the exquisite rythmtrack. Those two nail that song, and make it sound like the brand.
