I never cared for Rolling Stone reviews. They LOVED BTM and they LOVED Tango in the Night. These are probably my least favorite Mac albums. On the other hand they trashed Stevie's The Wild Heart which is probably her second best solo record. Its solid and strong not deserving of a one and a half star review.
But its ironic if you go back in time. Check out the Rolling Stone 1982 Rolling Stone interview "Fleetwood Mac, happy at the top." It claims every member of the Mac did the interview except for Nicks on the advice of her manager.
Stevie always held a grudge against Rolling Stone from the white album review that called her singing callow. It hurt her confidence in a new band.
