As individuals songs the album was a winner, especially if each writer trimmed their 3 worst songs. And id even go as far as to say it actually feels very cohesive in parts. Murrow feels right at home next to Illume. Peacekeeper come and smile at you all flow perfectly into each other.
And any faults actually left with SYW will be fixed this time around with the fact that Christine is back and they are all going into record at the same time.

I agree: the game is completely different now that Christine is back. Say You Will could have been Tusk 2 if Christine were present. It was a big, epic album with lots of sonic experimentation & personal introspection. It had all the makings of a great album- the formula was just off because Christine wasn't there to bridge the manic Buckingham & Nicks. So if we end up with Lindsey producing, I'll be just fine with that. There will be an artistic edge from Lindsey's zaniness, but Christine will temper his experimentations with a solid foundation.
I still think if they find the proper producer, their music can be taken to another level, though. For instance, it seems Richard & Ken brought out a warmth of sound from the band that hasn't been present since their departure. As a comparison, Lindsey's production tends to be much sharper, and Froom's was just plain flat, in my opinion.
