I had no real clue about the DR doc, just a snippet of the "fight" I had seen in a preview. So, my initial response to the album is what I always come back to and I'm glad I have it to hang onto. I felt it was a genius offering from Lindsey & Stevie that showcased their musical maturity in a relative & fresh way. I loved the way the album flowed and only felt ambivalent about a couple of tracks: Come and Silver Girl. But, I never expect to hear an album full of "singles", usually I listen for an album that is solid in concept and flow. And, this album did not disappoint in either. There are still very strong statements in this project and I feel it proved that Fleetwood Mac was still viable as a band and that Stevie & Lindsey together are a pop rock force unparalleled.

loved reading this! this actually might be my favorite post that i read from you, ever. very interesting and fresh. shows how different a view can be when one goes into listening to SYW without any preconceived opinions.
