I thought SYW was a good album. It WAS a "dud" at the cash register, though. Only FMac fans would really appreciate it. It really didn't have that "thing" for either the general listener or radio airplay. The programming of most stations nowadays is just way to narrow for Fleetwood Mac to fit ANYWHERE.
Except for "WTWCT", all of Lindsey's songs weren't "new"...that was fairly disappointing. I didn't care for "Silver Girl" at first, but it grew on me over time. And, being entranced by Lindsey's guitar solo wasn't enough to keep me liking "Running Through The Garden"...that's the only stinker for me on the album now. Swap it out with "Not Make Believe" and the album would move up a couple of notches (that and redo the running order of the songs).
