The album is charming, but it did take me some time to warm up to songs like Empire State, and Can't Go Back.

Oh Diane is just dumb on that album. Give Nicks or Christine another song. Or write something for Fleetwood Mac, and not yourself.

The musical tension was hurting them at this point. I do love me some Book of Love.
Yeah Oh Diane needed to go. I know the Brits will say it charted over there which is rare for a Lindsey song. Smile At You was a moment in time. Even Chris's plopping piano and Lindsey's guitar sound angry. Stevie's voice was in peak form and could never do the passion on it again in later attempts. It also breaks the "music box" where the song is more raw and organic than the others. As Stevie said the band never liked her rocking songs and preferred her slower safe songs. I also hate that Beauty and The Beast was left off Tusk. Lastly in all these reissues why cannot we get these gems on CD? That is what a reissue should be.....adding the songs that almost made the album. I don't want 11 versions of I know I am not wrong.


talkin about Diane
